From the Paper:

"Between 1870 and 1912 the United States experienced extensive social, political, and cultural changes as a result of the massive industrialization that occurred throughout the nation during that time. Without a doubt, industrialization was the social force that transformed the nation in the wake of the Civil War and leading up to World War I. During that time, the United States experienced some of the greatest changes it has ever faced. These included the end of the Western frontier, the development of cities, the rise of labor and populism, the extension of the railroads, and muckraking. In addition, many prominent American figures such as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and Teddy Roosevelt made their mark on American history during this period."
