[Voiceover] So I brought you here to talk about the Gilded Age, which is one of my favorite eras of American history.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] No, because it is the only era of American history I can think of that has a sarcastic name. (laughter)발음듣기
대기중
What's happening between, so I see it's from 1865 to 1898 which is the end of the Civil War, and then what happens in 1898?발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] It's basically everyone woke up one morning and were like "oh we're done with the Gilded Age, now it's time for the Progressive Era".발음듣기
대기중
So the Gilded Age is kind of this period of really intense industrialization and kind of focusing on America's development as an industrial and business power.발음듣기
대기중
It's very inward looking, whereas after the Spanish-American war the United States takes a bigger role on the world's stage.발음듣기
대기중
The sarcastic part of the Gilded Age is that this was a term coined by Mark Twain of all people, in 1890.발음듣기
대기중
And he wrote a book called "The Gilded Age", and what Twain was trying to say was that the United States in this period wasn't experiencing a golden age, an era of prosperity and happiness, but rather a Gilded Age.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Well I think what people are talking about under the title of Gilded Age is that it's this time when immense wealth is accumulated by a number of individuals.발음듣기
대기중
A lot of this was done through political kickbacks, bribing of officials, bribing of the vice president of the United States.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Credit Mobilier was a construction company that had less than savory ties to some people very high up in government.발음듣기
대기중
So these fortunes of people like Carnegie and Morgan were built partly on political corruption, and partly on the backs of waves of immigrant laborers.발음듣기
대기중
And so during this time period in the eastern part of Europe, in the southern part of Europe, there were political eruptions, there were just general poverty especially in Italy.발음듣기
대기중
In Russia there were a number of pogroms, which sent Russian Jews out of Russia and they came to the United States.발음듣기
대기중
And they came from very bad situations, so what they came to was a little bit better but it wasn't much better.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] Which is how they all ended up living in this one apartment in lower Manhattan, as you've detailed in this Jacob Riis photograph.발음듣기
대기중
And he went around the lower east side of Manhattan, basically just photographing what he called "How the Other Half Lives".발음듣기
대기중
By the other half he meant immigrants, the poor who were living in the lower east side of Manhattan.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] So tenements were these apartment dwellings which kind of sprang up, often in the backyards of other normal buildings.발음듣기
대기중
But they were sort of hastily constructed, they had many rooms in them, they weren't up to fire code.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] There is some pictures that can show you no, most of them were next to giant rotting heaps of garbage.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] One of my favorite things about the story of Jacob Riis is that he was a pioneer in the field of photography because he used flash photography.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] There was no lighting in them. so you couldn't take a picture of them without light.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] So this is a photograph by Riis called "Five Cents a Spot", and so you paid five cents a night to live in this apartment.발음듣기
대기중
And so if you count here, there's one, two, three, four, five, six, I think this is somebody else's legs, seven, did I get everybody?발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] And you compare that with this, which is John D. Rockefeller's mansion in New York.발음듣기
대기중
So the real question of the Gilded Age is how is it that some people get so wealthy, while some people are incredibly poor?발음듣기
대기중
He buys him out for more than four hundred million dollars, he loans money to the U.S. government.발음듣기
대기중
[Voiceover] So we're really talking about the clash of two great and terrible energies, right?발음듣기
