Powerful new corporations raised disturbing questions about the American understanding of political freedom and self-government.

Americans during the Gilded Age saw the country as an island of democracy in a world dominated by undemocratic governments.

Explanation:

The term Gilded age is referred to the period following civil war up-to the end of the 19th century and it was first used by Mark twain in 1873. This period is noted in history for the political, economic and social development in the United States. Fast pace industrialization, a boom in economic growth, machine politics in the u. S and the question of the morality to acquire wealth are the main issues determine this period.
