When was the Gilded Age in America?

It was during and just after the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1871).

So called for its materialism and political corruption, the period was given its name in a satirical novel, The Gilded Age (1873), written by Mark Twain with Charles Dudley Warner.
