Following the civil war, america experienced a great development if its industrial capacity. What effects did this growth have on the country?

The growth of the Titans of Industry or Robber Barons in
Post Civil War America vastly impacted the nation.  The massive proliferation of wealth
generated the most evident realities of class in the young nation at the time.  In this
Industrialization, we can see the tenets of wealth and also the manipulation of the
system because of it.  Initiatives such as railroad building and investment into
corporations became assisted by government, whose sphere could not be preserved from the
infiltration of wealth within it.  One of the effects of this industrialization was the
idea that American government and American business became very close and a collusion of
sorts resulted.  This was even seen in the Supreme Court, where decision after decision
favored big business and corporations.  In both structures, power came from the top
down, resulting in a class of individuals who possessed a great deal of it and another
group that lacked much of it on both political and economic levels.  I would also say
that another way this impact was experienced was in the counterresponse to such
industrialization in the form of Progressivism.  The idea of speaking for those who
lacked power in economic realms, and moving into other domains, arose from the condition
of industrialization that gripped the nation after the Civil
War.
