John D. Rockefeller was a prominent industrialist and co-founder of the Standard Oil Company, which became a powerful monopoly in the oil industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His business practices, including aggressive pricing strategies and horizontal integration, led to widespread public concern over monopolies and their impact on competition. This prompted the federal government to take action, most notably resulting in the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, which aimed to curb the power of monopolies and promote fair competition. Rockefeller's legacy thus significantly influenced federal policies concerning regulation and antitrust laws.
