Why did key basic industries lose business

History
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago
3 0

Key basic industries, such as railroads, textiles, and steel had barely made a profit. Railroads lost business to new forms of transportation (trucks, buses, and private automobiles, for instance). Coal mining was especially hard-hit, in part due to stiff competition from new forms of energy, including hydroelectric power, fuel oil, and natural gas.

victus00 [196]
Trusts took control over like the whole industry - literally. 

This could become a huge risk over other small businesses. They made them run out of money, which lead to a decline, and eventually, the business would close. 

Trusts basically went like this: 

A guy takes control over what the industries do. He makes sure that their is no competition and runs the other's outa business. Sorta has to do with a monopoly. 

Robber Baron did something similar to what Rockefeller did. He took control by using a trust in the oil industry, and became wealthy.
