CONTROVERSIES Over the Role of GOVERNMENT in the Gilded Age [APUSH Review 6.12] Period 6: 1865-1898

AP HEIMLER REVIEW GUIDE (formerly known as the Ultimate Review Packet):

Instagram: @heimlers_history

In this video Heimler takes you through Unit 6 Topic 12 of the AP U.S. History curriculum which is set in period 6 (1865-1898).

During the Gilded Age, there was a fierce debate over the proper role of government with respect to industry. Some (mostly industrialists and the governmental actors who supported them) supported laissez faire policies that prohibited any government regulation in the economy, even during crises like the Panic of 1893.

Additionally, a desire for new markets and access to natural resources led policy makers to look towards securing influence abroad in Asia, the Pacific Rim, and Latin America. These desires wouldn't bear the fullness of their fruit until the Spanish American War, however.

If you have any questions, leave them below and Heimler shall answer forthwithly.

This video is aligned with the AP U.S. History Curriculum and Exam Description for Unit 6 Topic 12, and all the key concepts thereunto appertaining.

I'm the French speaker. 'Laissez' (pronounced lay-say) is a form of the verb 'Laisser', meaning 'to let'. 'Faire' is a verb that can be translated both as 'to do' and 'to make'. In this case either one works. So, Laissez-faire literally means 'Let do' or 'Let make'.

Some things never seem to change. Big business learned how to control regulation and once again, big business has done a smash up job of creating monopolies and quashing and chance of competition.
