As a result of rapid economic growth during the "Gilded Age," class divisions became less severe. In other words, there was a more equal distribution of wealth and income as a result of industrialization.

I think false

False indeed!

To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to consider the context of the "Gilded Age" and its impact on class divisions and wealth distribution.

The Gilded Age, which took place in the late 19th century in the United States, was characterized by rapid industrialization and economic growth. While the economy flourished during this period, it also gave rise to significant wealth inequality and class divisions.

The expansion of industries and the emergence of big business led to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few powerful individuals and corporations. Wealthy industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller amassed enormous fortunes, while many workers labored in poor conditions for low wages.

Therefore, the statement that class divisions became less severe and there was a more equal distribution of wealth and income as a result of industrialization during the Gilded Age is false.
