What was the Victorian era called in America?
1 Answer
Because the United States isn't ruled by a king or queen, the time of 1840–1900 in America is broken down into many different names. There is the timeline surrounding the Civil War: The Antebellum (pre-Civil War), Civil War (1861–1865), Reconstruction (1865–1876). There are other names, including the Industrial Age (post Civil War), the Populist Era (1890's), and the Gilded Age (post-Civil War era of government corruption).
