Which of the following groups became the main residents of the inner city during the gilded age? a. clerks and teachers b. doctors and lawyers c. the wealthy b. the working poor

The answer is d the working poor

The correct answer is D: The working poor.

The Gilded Age was the period in the United States, lasting from the 1860's to 1896, where occurred a rapid and important transformation in matters of the economy, society, politics and technology.

By this time, the Gilded Age society consisted of "Two halves", the first half was compound of the upper-class, that included the owners or managers of the industries, and the middle-class, that also had well-paid jobs and supported the upper-class. The other half consisted of working-class families, including immigrants. During this period, U.S. shifted from an agrarian to an industrial economy, therefore the opportunities jobs were in the cities. As a result, millions of farmers and immigrants (the working-class) moved into American's big cities looking for work. Some of the cities: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, St. Louis and Chicago.

However, nearly 40% of the working-class was poor. They had to live in very poor circumstances, the working conditions were dangerous, they'd receive no benefits at all, had to face long hours and the paid wasn't enough.  

no

explanation:

not everyone in america is free. it is has always been a unequal society. and yet people come in swarms, in search of better lives. some are brought as children, unaware, unknowing. some arrive and just don’t leave. they build lives, pay taxes, raise families. some enter illegally, fleeing persecution in their home country.

there are many reasons why human beings are so attracted to america, despite its history of bitterness towards immigrants.

there are almost two million immigrants brought to the us when they were children. president donald trump and his collaborators are determined to rid the us of as many undocumented immigrants as they can, and stop others from coming because none of their ancestors were immigrants.

america has so many things and yet it lacks the one thing that humanity needs to fully thrive. and so this country will not be at peace in itself until it resolves the pain at the heart of slavery, attacking immigrants, and crumble the rights of those with less power.
