overlap[edit]

The desire to not overlap various eras and ages may be commendable but make the ranges appear far too exact.

There is no real reason why the Reconstruction Era and the Gilded Age, for instance, can't overlap. The former ends in '77 yet the latter begins in the seventies (rather than exactly 1877).

Is there any documentation to say the Reagan era is still ongoing? It seems like 2001 (War on Terror) or 2008 (financial collapse) should mark a new era in US history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.237.200.70 (talk) 11:51, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
