The Gilded Age was becoming a memory of the accomplishments of thousands, maybe even Millions, of American Thinkers, inventors, entrepreneurs, and other accomplishments. Politicians had an impact on the tremendous change transforming the U.S. Presidency was a part time law in power and influence, while congress was rife with corruption. Some State, maybe even city, leaders shared in graft, and the public was being kept unaware. Americans were not taking their commands from the start, so they started building a new society from its foundation, much like from the colonial days. Some of the American presidents, who resided on the white house at the end of the Civil War in 1890, were being called “The forgettable presidents.”
