That’s not too far off. The oppression and wealth inequality of the Gilded Age ended in 1900. The Progressive Era ~~and the New Deal~~ quickly shifted wealth from industrial growth to white workers through unions. However, people of color did not benefit from these protections.
The new deal was in the 30s...
Duh. You’re right. It followed the Progressive Era. Regardless, the transfer of wealth to white workers was relatively swift, and the cost of domestic goods was low at the turn of the century. If you look at photos of 1890 vs 1900 vs 1910, you’ll see what I mean.
