At the same time, other far-reaching developments--the eclipsing of countryside and farm by city and factory, substantial changes in communications and transportation, revolutionary innovations in agriculture, a large wave of immigration, the rise of labour unions, and the emergence of the United States as a world power--gave these years a distinctive character and established the foundations of modern America. Revised to reflect the latest scholarship on the Gilded Age and Progressive Era, this classic text remains a great choice as a core text for courses in the Gilded Age or as a highly useful supplement for the US history survey.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePreface to the Third Edition ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Rise of Industrial America 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Last West and the New South 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 The Politics of Dead Center 39\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 The Agrarian Revolt 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 American Culture in the Gilded Age 80\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 American Society in the Industrial Age 96\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 America’s New Manifest Destiny 121\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Great Reform Era 148\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Theodore Roosevelt and Progressivism 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Taft and Progressive Insurgency 190\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Woodrow Wilson and the New Freedom 209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 The United States as a World Power, 1899-1916 228\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 America’s road to War: 1914-1917 252\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 America in World War I 273\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Wilson and the Versailles Treaty 292\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 315\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhotographs follow page 172\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVincent P.
