If we disregard this‚ a time will come when there would not be enough soil left to sustain life on earth‚ because the soil is a necessary growth medium for plants‚ a home for certain insects and animals‚ as well as a medium from which we get minerals‚ such as gold.

The Gilded Age was a period in the U.S.’s history during the 1860’s to the 1900’s. This was a time period in which there was a great deal of political injustice‚ an economic growth caused by an industrial boom‚ a massive wave of immigrants‚ environmental exploitation‚ and new inventions that push America forward in time.
