Sherman’ antitrust law aimed at stopping monopolies especially, the famous New Hersey standard oil company was dissolved based on this law. This act aims at prohibiting any contracts, conspiracies in ‘restraint of trade’ and it proposed fair trade, it was a crime to create monopoly of a product under this law. This law actually helped small workers and encouraged fair competition between the businesses.

William Rockefeller established Standard oil Company in New Jersey, To give a tough opposition to his competitors, Rockefeller secretly discounted the shipping and transportation charges from railroads, he also formed a secret association with old refiners and bought their refineries at cheaper cost and started to produce more of crude oil.

It became a huge monopoly of supplying 90% of America with crude oil. These actions violated the Sherman’s antitrust law which prohibited Illegal monopoly.

kumpel [21]

If I was an ordinary person in my 1930s and aged 40 with a middle income job such as an 'office assistant', I would not be in favour of helping other countries.

I would personally prefer a policy of isolation from the rest of the world. Primarily, this would be because I had seen with my very won eyes, the death and destruction bought on by World War I and more importantly the Great Depression.


With millions of job less people, poverty and people barely making ends meet, I would want our government to concentrate on the welfare of our own people, rather than go to war with countries thousands of miles away.
