It was named the guilded age because everything seemed "golden" or amazing and spectacular, but in reality that was just the outside. Inside there was much corruption and other bad happenings during the era.

The Gilded Age (1865-1900) refers to a period of rapid economic growth in the U.S. that was simultaneously marked by significant social issues, corruption, and inequality. Coined by Mark Twain, the term highlights the contrast between the era's wealth and the underlying societal problems. This period showcases both advancement in industry and persistent corruption in politics.
