One way was the passing of the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887. This was made to standardize the railroad industry and prevent the establishment of monopolies.  Railroads were obliged to publish their rates on shipping and were prohibited from discriminating in fares for long and short hauling.

Can you explain the economic, social and political causes of the Civil War?<br> BRAINLY 10 POINTS
Julli [10]

Answer:

The economic, social and political causes of the Civil War were:

  1. Racism. The social cause for the Civil War was mostly racism, the people in the South wanted to keep their slaves because they were workers that they didn't have to pay for their farm, and they were using them for labor. The North wanted to abolish slavery, but the South didn't want them to.
  2. Tariffs. In the North, people could afford high tariffs because they were working in factories, and industrialization was very common over there. But, the people in the South could not afford to pay the high tariffs, and felt betrayed by the North. They were going into debt and couldn't afford to keep their farms and plantations.
  3. The political reason for the Civil War was the President, Abraham Lincoln. He had been elected that year was loved by the North, but not the South. The North loved him because he wanted to abolish slavery, raise tariffs, and he promoted the industrialization of the South, and didn't want slavery to be carried on to the West. The South didn't like that, so they caused a war.
