History

This question refers to the trip that Dizzy Gillespie and his band made to Southern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia in 1956. The main reason why this trip was organized was because the United States was interested in presenting a positive image of America abroad. One of the ideas that the group wanted to spread was that of anti-authoritarianism. This led them to oppose rules and regulations of government.

This idea was particularly powerful in Greece, which at the time had an authoritarian, unpopular government. The ideas spread by these people were so popular that people in Athens tossed their jackets in the air when Dizzy played, and even carried the musician on their shoulders through the streets of Athens. This showed that the music was a huge success.

List two pieces of evidence that Rockefeller used to convince readers to support his arguments about rebates.
ExtremeBDS [4]

1. Rockefeller envisioned the consolidation of many small oil refineries into one giant company that controlled the production because, when the market for oil grew, the amount of buyers grew more, leading to prices going up and down and many small companies wet into bankruptcy. They created what they called "Our Plan" through Standard Oil to save the industry, by combining the businesses  

2. The three major railroads running through Cleveland and the Oil Regions of Pensylvannia were really costly, but when they were initially setup and the traffic started to grow more and more, the costs decreased, causing very high losses to the them. Since Standard Oil had the market power they were able to get discounts on railway freight rates. If a railroad did not wish to work with the Standard’s demands they would just ship with another railroad, so most of the railroads ended up agreed to work with them to continue with the businesses. Railroads were Erie, New York Central, and Pennsylvania.
