<span>His impact on the Industrial Revolution in America was the biggest of any single U.S. citizen. His trust of oil, and control of the railroads, and oil tank cars on the railroad allowed him immense power since the federal government instituted no regulation of business to allow competition to develop in the various industries totally or in-part controlled by Rockefeller. This ended of course when Theodore Roosevelt broke the industrial trusts early in the 20th century. Rockefeller did go on to institute many worthwhile charities and foundations that have and continue to benefit people around the world. Rockefeller had no peer when it came to making business decisions that only he would make with regular success that eventually made him the wealthiest person in United States history. Using today's wealth standards his personal fortune was well over 1/4 of a trillion (that's with a T) dollars.</span>

What was the city that was the first capital of french louisiana?

azamat

Answer:

Mobile

Explanation:

French Louisiana was part of the massive territory that the French managed to conquer in North America, occupying around one third of what is now the United States of America. French Louisiana was part of New France, a territory stretching from what is now Louisiana up to what is now Indiana. The territory of French Louisiana was larger than that of modern day Louisiana as it was stretching on the territory of Illinois as well. It was a crucial territory though, as it had the most important and actually the only ports, which made it the center of trade during the French rule of this area. The first capital of French Louisiana was Mobile, and it was capital until 1720, when Biloxi became the capital.
