We all know bowling, with modern technology, but have you ever used a lopsided ball to ‘kiss’ jacks? Maybe even heard of fighting roosters with blades attached to their feet. You can see how strange and unusual the sports they played back then were, but to them it was a popular form of entertainment for all. In this Elizabethan Era is when sports just started to become popular with players, and spectators (Alchin "Elizabethan Sports"). Many of Elizabethan era sports were dangerous and violent, one even watching trained bulldogs kill a bull. Three of the main sport categories were blood, team, and individual sports.

Living conditions during the gilded age were not healthy. Many people lived in tenements. Life in the tenements was trashy, and the space between each tenement was about one foot. They also did not have any type of plumbing, so all the waste would wash down to the street. Also many people would live in one small tenement. Between 1812 and 1840 the American political landscape underwent significant changes. The most important of these changes was the rise of the formal political party and the struggles for and against this perilous structure. Political parties began to grow, as they grew. Political machines in the late 1800s were corrupt in many different ways. One of the ways was influencing votes through so-called charitable acts.

The time period in American history known as the Gilded Age was recognized for its transition from a nation of the pioneers’ settlements of the American West, to that of huge industrial expansion centered on cities and factories. Inventions, advances in technologies, and revolutionary innovations lead to the unprecedented economic and industrial growth of this era. Improvements in transportation with the enormous expansion of the transcontinental railroad, which occurred even before the demand for such railroads existed, spurred growth in many areas. Technological advances such as the Bessemer process, greatly increased the rates for steel production which soon lead to steel replacing iron for railroad construction.…
In the Elizabethan era women were portrayed as less than equals to men. Male seemed to be the dominate gender and women were to be seen-not-heard. They existed within a patriarchal society.

If so, what caused this marked departure from the past in a nation with such strong religious and moral cultural traditions? Use the documents and your knowledge of U S History to answer the question.…
