Guiteau, shot President Garfield in the back at a Washington railroad station. 9

12 Pendleton Act (1883) Garfield's assassination spurs its passage the Magna Carta of civil-service reform which called examinations for potential office seekers, outlined appropriate behavior, and created a Civil Service Commission. 12
13 Economics In the Gilded Age 13
14 Industrialization
15 Industrialization New inventions helped the growth of industry, including the Bessemer process, electric bulb, telegraph, and telephone. For example, better steel created by the Bessemer process led to big business as demand for steel increased construction, for example, railroads and skyscrapers. Other inventions allowed factories to produce more faster. Rapid immigration provided more factory workers.
16 Growth of Railroads Technology and industry enabled the growth of railroads. Industry used railroads for shipping products. Railroads were needed because of increased demand with settlement and economic development of the west. Meeting of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific at Promontory Point in southern Utah in 1869
17 Rise of Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise Adam Smith Herbert Spencer
18 Rise of Entrepreneurship and Free Enterprise Entrepreneur- someone who organizes, manages, and takes on the risks of a business. Many new businesses sprung up in the U.S. including many begun by immigrants using their trade skills. Free enterprise-business can operate with little government influence. laissez-faire The U.S. promoted this idea during the Gilded Age.
19 What do you see in the political cartoon?
20 Big Business Industrialists reduced competition through monopolies and trusts. Monopoly-control of one group over service or product Trust-companies come together and agree to control aspects of a business They used vertical and horizontal integration to control industries. Vertical-group controls many parts of the supply chain Horizontal-groups monopolizes a portion of an industry
21 Important Industrialists Andrew Carnegie-steel John D. Rockefelleroil J.P. Morgan-banking/finance Cornelius Vanderbiltrailroads
22 Captains of Industry vs. Robber Barons Some people viewed them as great assets to the growth of American industry Others saw them as ruthless men only interested in their profit Either way the gap between rich and poor widened as industry grew
23
24 How rich were the robber barons compared to Microsoft founder Bill Gates? $ billions $ Rockefeller Carnegie Vanderbilt Bill Gates Jay Gould JP Morgan James H. Hill
25
26 Labor Conditions Labor leaders criticized companies for reducing competition, paying low wages, and unsafe working conditions child labor
27 Growth of Unions Factory workers formed and joined labor unions to engage in collective bargaining. Knights of Labor-formed in 1869, Terrence Powderly led national union of skilled and unskilled workers American Federation of Labor (AFL)-formed in 1881, founded by Samuel Gompers and included a series of different unions of skilled workers In opposition to business practices, many workers went on strike during the 1880 s. In the late 19 th century, government favored business and opposed unions.
28 Haymarket Square Clash between police and a mob of labor activists and anarchists on May 4, 1886, in Chicago s Haymarket Square.
29 Farmers React to Big Business Farmers problems in the late 19 th century leads to a call for change. Farmers tried to keep big businesses from fixing prices and further hurting their profits. Populism By 1890, farmers react to McKinley Tariff which hurt farmers who sold their harvests on unprotected markets but were forced to buy expensive manufactured goods Many farmers wanted government control of transportation and communication to protect farm industry. Other concerns-8 hour workday, free silver, graduated income tax, direct election of senators
30 Early Legislation Interstate Commerce Act (1887): Prohibited unfair railroad practices and created the Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce the act. First time that Congress stepped in to regulate business in America. Sherman Anti-Trust Act (1890): Aimed was to break up large monopolies and trusts designed to restrain trade. Initially not successful because it was vague and lacked any means of enforcement. Clayton Act (1913) passed to strengthen the Sherman Act.
