In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 6 Topic 6 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1865-1898).

With the rise of unbridled industrial capitalism in the Gilded Age, a flurry of new technology supported it, and a few capitalists like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller grew fabulously rich on the backs of low-wage workers.

With this new means of production came a new managerial system for organizing it: middle management staffed by white-collar workers. And because industry was largely staffed by immigrants and low-wage workers, the output of goods produced increased dramatically.

One of the ways wealth was consolidated in this atmosphere was through the building of trusts through methods like vertical integration and horizontal integration.

And ultimately, capitalists would play a large role in American expansion into the Pacific Rim, Asia, and Latin America.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.
