Men Who Built America
Answers to the questions for part 7 will be due Sunday Night, Nov 4th


Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Carnegie and Morgan have gone un-monitored for decades, but American politicians are about to change that. They want to guard against monopolies and an unbalanced use of power. The men, some lifelong enemies, come together with a play to gain influence with the White House. Their candidate, William McKinley, wins the White House and passes legislation favorable to big business. Morgan and Carnegie create U.S. Steel, the first billion-dollar company in the U.S. while Rockefeller takes control of 90 percent of North American oil.

Key terms to define
ANTI-TRUST, CAPITAL, ELITE, LUCRATIVE, NICHE, PROSPERITY, RUTHLESS

Discussion Questions
1. Why were American workers upset at the time of the 1896 election? How did William Jennings Bryan attempt to address some of their concerns?
2. Why did the business tycoons put their support behind William McKinley? Were they successful?
3. What does “anti-trust” mean? Do you agree with the strategy of breaking up businesses that become very dominant in one industry?
