AP US History
Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.5
How do the consequences of Robber Baron era monopolies compare with big tech companies' dominance today?
They both sparked widespread labor strikes demanding better wages from workers nationwide uniformly.
Each era raised concerns about concentrated power influencing social norms and policy-making mechanisms disproportionately.
Both times resulted in a decline of foreign investments into American industries specifically.
They both led directly to an increase in small business ownership as a counter reaction.
