Conclusion small medium large The Gilded Age and Progressive Era were periods in which society was in flux. Twenty eight million immigrants flooded the growing urban areas. Work too was transformed because a second industrialization simplified and mechanized most trades. These jobs were dangerous and low-paying. In the cities, unsanitary tenements were erected and corruption was rampant. What this WebQuest has tried to illuminate is how different groups reacted and adapted to these changes. The most important questions that arose concerned what a true American was and what the future of the nation would be. The political as well as social choices in this period determined the path of America as industrialization was supported and the welfare state began to develop. This debate over social welfare and immigration did not die with the progressives. Although the past does not foretell the future, at times it can shed light upon recurring themes and issues.
