Question

Why are these important?

I have my attempted answers marked, will someone please help me?

Answer 1

Trusts
******** I know that Trusts were used to expand companies into monopoly's (i think)

Sherman Anti-Trust Act
******** The Sherman Anti-Trust Act was important to protect the states from being controlled by one Person. It broke up the larger monopolies.

Standard Oil Company
********The Standard oil Company was the largest oil company, as well as the first, there was a high demand for auto mobiles which also meant that Oil and Gas was at a high demand!

Question:
Should the government break up Standard Oil's monopoly? What are some supporting details that you know about Standard Oil's Monopoly?
*******I think that the Government should limit Mr. Rockefeller's expansions within each state. Not necessarily break up his company. But spread across the states so that competing companies have a chance in the industry

Answer 2

yes for the first, the antitrust act broke monopolies
yes for standard oil, the answer was good but the government should have broken rockefellers company so other companies can sell oil and make a profit
