- Major developments included the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, Alexander Graham Bell's telephone invention in 1876, and Thomas Edison establishing the first research lab in 1877.
- Social and economic issues included corruption and political machines, labor issues like sweatshops, and John D. Rockefeller establishing a monopoly on the oil industry in the 1880s. Segregation and rights for black Americans were also controversial
This document provides a timeline of key events between 1865 and 1895 in the United States. Some of the major developments include:
- The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, connecting the eastern and western United States.
- The invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson in 1876.
- The Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, where Native American tribes led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse defeated General Custer's troops.
- The passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890, making it illegal to establish trusts that interfered with free trade.
The summary provides the key events and developments between 1850-1870:
- The Bessemer Process revolutionized steel production in the 1850s. In the 1860s, the Transcontinental Railroad connected the east and west coasts of the US for the first time. The Homestead Act of 1862 offered free land to citizens.
- Social Darwinism emerged from Darwin's theory of evolution in 1859. The Credit Mobilier scandal involved corruption related to the Union Pacific Railroad construction in the 1860s. Andrew Carnegie's steel company dominated production in the late 1860s.
- The Gilded Age brought rapid economic growth fueled by industries like railroads, factories, and oil in the late 1860s-1870
- In the late 1880s, George Eastman developed flexible film and the Kodak camera, making photography more convenient and accessible.
- Jane Addams founded Hull House in Chicago in 1889, pioneering social work to help immigrants and the poor. She later won the Nobel Peace Prize.
- On December 28, 1890, around 350 starving and freezing Sioux Indians were rounded up by the 7th Cavalry and taken to a camp at Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota. The next day, violence erupted and over 150 Sioux men, women, and children were killed by the soldiers in the Wounded Knee Massacre.
This timeline summarizes important events and people from the late 1800s to early 1900s:
1) It describes several key inventions and innovations such as the Bessemer process for steel production, the homestead act, the railroad braking system, the telephone, the light bulb, the kodak camera, and vaudeville.
2) It mentions several influential people such as Andrew Carnegie in steel, John D. Rockefeller in oil, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Booker T. Washington, Ida B. Wells, and Samuel Gompers who helped form the American Federation of Labor.
3) It briefly outlines some important social and political events like the Civil War,
