The Sherman Antitrust Act was an attempt made by Congress to create competition by outlawing monopolies.
This was in response to the fact that monopolies on products such as steel (Andrew Carnegie), oil (John D. Rockefeller), and even finance (J. P. Morgan) had eliminated all competition between businesses in those trades. Monopolies did nothing but make a few rich men richer, so Congress made it illegal.
