Competition was snuffed out because of monopolies. Since people were in bad shape after the war, large companies (most likely subsidized by the government) monopolized areas. An example of this monopoly would be the railroad industry. Trains were first made to be the only source of transport.

Competition relates to monopoly because the act of monopolizing gets rid of competition.

The "underground railroad" was not one place, but a series of stops to get the slaves to the north. Each stop was only known by the person who sent the slave on to the next stop, so no one knew the entire set up. One way slaves knew that they would be leaving was through the music/songs they would sing. The songs they chose would tell them that they were leaving and when.
