Introduction
You are a member of a film production studio that has recently been hired to produce a documentary about the Gilded Age of American history.
American novelist Mark Twain coined the term "Gilded Age" in an effort to illustrate the outwardly showy, but inwardly corrupt nature of American society during the industrialization of the late 1800's.
The documentary will need to highlight the many aspects of society that made up the Gilded Age, including: technological innovation, big business, urbanization, immigration, and reaction to the period.
