What business was the major force behind economic growth and the first big business for the US?

The first "big businesses" sprang up in the late 1800's with the creation of large trusts in the U.S. These trusts were usually associated with the railroads. If you're looking for a more in-depth information, I would research these individuals: 1. John D. Rockefeller - Standard Oil 2. James Pierpont Morgan - Banking and Securities 3. Andrew Carnegie - U.S. Steel 4. Cornelius Vanderbilt - Railroad Tycoon These men were HUGE in the advancement of business and corporate activities in the late 1800's. They each developed extremely large "trusts" that combined multiple businesses into one large corporation or business (what most think of as a monopoly). Formal monopolies were against the law, so tycoons created these trusts to circumvent the law and bend the rules)


Was laissez faire good for big business in late 1800?

Yes, laissez-faire policies in the late 1800s significantly benefited big business. The lack of government regulation allowed companies to grow rapidly, maximize profits, and engage in practices such as monopolies and trusts without interference. This environment fostered industrial growth and innovation but often at the expense of workers' rights and public welfare. Ultimately, while it spurred economic expansion, it also led to significant social and economic inequalities.
