 This era was characterized by the development of the steam engine and railroad that served as catalysts for western expansion, economic growth and the development of large corporations. Wealthy corporations exploited the nation's natural resources and the many European immigrants who worked for them. Viewers see how environmental groups responded to these threats and developed programs to try to conserve America's natural wonders. Learn how the struggle between those who favored unregulated economic growth and those demanding a more livable environment became an issue that would divide generations to come.
