2. The Sherman Antitrust Act—proposed in 1890 by Senator John Sherman from Ohio—was the first measure passed by the U.S. Congress to prohibit trusts, monopolies, and cartels. The Sherman Act also outlawed contracts, conspiracies, and other business practices that restrained trade and created monopolies within industries.

3. could form a union to deal with a particular problem. The first workers' strikes in the United States occurred in 1786 because workers were angry over the use of new machinery that was dangerous or that eliminated some jobs. Industrialization grew slowly before the Civil War and so did unions.
