The Sherman Act is known as one of the earliest attempts to put an end to trusts and monopolies.

Offically known as the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, it was passed under the President Benjamin Harrison.

The idea was to develop level playing field for small and large businesses and basically protect entrepreneurs and their investments.

The Act attemps to prevent artifically raising or lower prices by controlling demand supply. It further attempts to prevent monopolies achieved and maintained through irregular or unethical methods, while leaving honest monopolies and competitiveness intact.

Good morning!

The Yellow Kid was successful in its time because it portrayed critically the period in which it lived. His shirts were his means of communication, and ironically reflected the model of communication on the rise at the time: merchandising.

Who was the last “liberal” Republican president and who was the first “liberal” Democratic president? Who was the first “conserv

gayaneshka [121]

1. Many make the argument that Richard Nixon was the last "liberal" Republican president, considering opening up of trade and signing into law massive environmental policies.

2. Many consider FDR to be the moment that the Democratic party switched from a more agrarian conservative party to the modern "liberal" party that it is today. As I mentioned with your other question, this occurred after Progressives that had split after Teddy Roosevelt last found their new home in the Democratic party. A similar drift would occur as Richard Nixon used the Southern Strategy to peel southern Democrats away and towards the new Republican party

3. Many consider Ronald Reagan to be the first true modern conservative President. Reagan embraced many of the tenets of the failed Goldwater presidential run and is still hailed as the gold standard for Conservative presidents.

4. Many consider Lyndon Johnson to be our most reliably liberal presidents. Johnson took the New Deal programs and expanded them with his "War on Poverty" but his legacy was ultimately complicated by the war in Vietnam.
