Question

Which phrase did Mark Twain use to describe the Gilded Age?

Answer 1

A "Golden Age" is a period when every thing is good from surface to core. A "Gilded Age" looks like gold on the surface but is base metal underneath. Twain felt this era, with its fascination with wealth, power and adventure, ignored the presence of poverty and corruption. The things he had trouble with were potentially: wars and rumors of war and the glorification of war racism against ldhe Chinese, Indians and freed American slaves disease (his children died)poverty religion and its abuses.
