Politicians of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era

This exhibit focuses on Gilded Age and Progressive Era Politicians' upbringings and presidential agendas. The main point is comparing the two eras to find similarities and differences to prove a hypothesis. My hypothesis before starting was that Gilded Age politicians will have a tougher upbringing than Progressive Era politicians. What I mean by that is they will have a rough education, and rough personal life that will affect how they run their presidencies compared to those in the Progressive Era.
