<span>His impact on the Industrial Revolution in America was the biggest of any single U.S. citizen. His trust of oil, and control of the railroads, and oil tank cars on the railroad allowed him immense power since the federal government instituted no regulation of business to allow competition to develop in the various industries totally or in-part controlled by Rockefeller.
