Certain trusts at the turn of the 19th century were creating unfair monopolies or breaking various laws. The "trusts" of the Rockefellers and the Carnegies, were fronts, in a manner of speaking, formed to disguise illegal activities. One US president, Theodore Roosevelt was known as a "trust buster". He wanted a fair deal for the American people.
