Gilded: great social change and economic growth, rapid industrialization, urbanization, the construction of great transcontinental railroads, innovations in science and technology, and the rise of big business.
Progressive: forward-looking political movement that attempted to redress some of the ills that had arisen during the Gilded Age, passed legislation to rein in big business, combat corruption, free the government from special interests, and protect the rights of consumers, workers, immigrants, and the poor.
