 a) True

The period in American history known as the Gilded Age, approximately from the 1870s to about 1900, is often referred to as the era of the "forgettable presidents" because the Presidents of this time did not have particularly impactful administrations compared to their Civil War and Progressive Era counterparts. These presidents were perceived to be relatively inactive in addressing the pressing issues of the nation such as burgeoning industrialization, labor unrest, and vast economic inequality.

During the Gilded Age, the federal government often took a laissez-faire approach to economic policy, allowing businesses to operate with little regulation. This led to the rapid growth of monopolies and trusts, stark contrasts between wealth and poverty, and the exploitation of workers. Social issues and the welfare of the average American were often overlooked by the federal government, which was seen as more concerned with policies that favored industrialists and the wealthy elite.
