Lack of government regulation of business practices.

Horizontal integration is the practice of buying smaller businesses creating competition so a company can have a monopoly over the sale of an item. Vertical integration is the practice of buying companies that supply the process of of a manufactured item from raw materials to transportation.

Corporate tycoons of the Gilded Age were able to use these economic practices because there were no laws or regulations to prevent them from doing so. John Rockefeller was an expert at horizontal integration. He bought oil industries out so he could be the sole provider of oil in America. Carnegie was an expert in vertical integration. He bought iron mines, creating steel mills, and bought rail lines to transport his goods. These practices made tycoons wildly wealthy which allowed them to continue buying and investing more to become more wealthy and powerful.

Wittaler [7]
The correct answer is "The government required rationing and encouraged growing of victory gardens."

The United States Food Administration was the federal agency in charge of rationing food and creating propaganda to encourage citizens to preserve food. This included cutting down on the amount of bread citizens ate on a weekly basis.

Along with this, the planting of victory gardens allowed for increased agricultural output. This meant more food that could be sent to the troops.

What was the Tea Act of 1773?
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 was one of several measures imposed on the American colonists by the heavily indebted British government in the decade leading up to the American Revolutionary War (1775-83). The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it.
