 * - During the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century America experiences a wave of industrialism driven by a group of men known as industrialists. **
 * - By identifying these individuals as captains of industry, we offer a positive impression of their achievements as men of inventiveness whose hard work and ingenious strategies transformed the American economy of the post-Reconstruction era and the early 20th century. These men are to also be honored for their charitable activities (philanthropy). **
 * - In extending the title of robber baron to these men, we emphasize the cruel and self-centered entrepreneurs who took advantage of the worker, whether it be immigrant, female, or child to accumulate wealth. The factory was a place where the worker experienced harsh conditions and poor pay. **
