Period 6 spans from 1865-1898. It includes everything from the tail end of Reconstruction after the Civil War to major labor and immigration developments. This period of American history may not have a lot of fanfare or get a lot of attention for having wars or conflict, but it sets the stage for a lot of rapid political and social development. So, make sure to pay attention!
