Write a two page essay that answers the following question:
Describe how the industrial revolution created new forms of freedom for some workers while restricting some freedoms for others. How did industrialization affect all workers? Be careful not to generalize.
In your essay, be sure to discuss the Gilded Age and the rise of large trusts by using specific examples (dates, names and events) from the textbook (Forner, Eric. Give Me Liberty: An American History, 5th Edition, Volume II. New York: Norton Publishing, 2017). Also, be sure to discuss the significance of Social Darwinism in your essay. When unpacking questions like the one listed above, examine them in terms of who, what, when, where, and why (the five W’s), as well as the significance of major events (turning points).
