Best Answer

The aim of the Sherman Act of 1890 (Sherman Anti-Trust Act) was to prevent and to break up large groups of corporations (trusts) that monopolized an area of commerce, and thereby controlled the prices and operations of an industry (such as railroads, steel, or oil). Trusts eliminated the competition that would normally act to keep prices at a free market level.
