What were monopolies and trusts?
Monopolies and trusts were big businesses that had gained control over all other competition, therefore allowing themselves to regulate prices (usually causing widespread debt on people who were reliant on their services).

These monopolies, or trusts, are now prevented by the government to keep them from hurting others as they did in the past.
