In the United States, in the late 1800's, there were many monopolies. A monopoly is a business in an industry that other companies can't compete with. The problem with that is that the monopoly can charge whatever price they want for what they make, and when there is no competition there is no need to improve. Competition is what improves the world, just think about it.
At that time there was also Trusts. Trusts are a group of monopolies lead by one board of directors. This is terrible for many businesses.
The Sherman Antitrust Act banned trusts and monopolies. It was a very important Act.
