If politicians could be bought, what hope was there for the poor? If immigrants were to be treated as secondhand citizens, what promise did the country have of ever expanding national influence?…

From 1865 to 1900, America was paving the way for industrialization. The country had built and invented more than anyone had thought possible. However, this time in history was known as the “Gilded Age”. The thought of going to an American city, getting a job, and getting paid was ideal to most outsiders.

Troy is a poor black man who once had a dream of becoming a major league baseball player. He never became a major league baseball player, because he was an African American.

It was heartbreaking news, and all I wanted to do after finding out was go lay in my bed and cry. However, that 's not what happened, and the day was long from being over. It was a sunny, somewhat chilly Friday afternoon, and I was supposed to be dismissed early from my 7th period class to board the basketball…
