      @@DennisFreitas-bn7nhThere was a distinction between Golden and Gilded because that era was named Gilded due to the “robber barons” making unbelievable fortunes on the backs of child labour, 16-hour workdays, 6-day workweeks with no unions to fight for health insurance or education or good housing. So the Vanderbilts, Astors, Rockefellers lived in mansions with lots of gilding but they were considered new-rich. JP Morgan was said to be the most hated man in America.

It is a thinly-veiled re-telling of the rivalry between the Astors and Vanderbilts. It shows the inequality of the classes and the rise of changes in labour laws.

I would like if possible I can get information on Paul Cuffee. We were owned by the Solcums story has it that they taught there slave how to read write and the land they put them on he allowed them to keep the land. I see there are Cuffee in Massachusetts I’m wondering can I get information on this. I was told that we were free so Cuffee kids were not slaves.
