The breakup of monopolies like the Northern Securities Company was primarily driven by the U.S. government, particularly under President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1904, the Supreme Court ruled against the Northern Securities Company, a major railroad trust, citing the Sherman Antitrust Act. This decision marked a significant moment in antitrust enforcement, as Roosevelt's administration actively pursued trusts to promote competition and curb corporate monopolies.

Roosevelt was nicknamed "The Trustbuster".
President Theodore Roosevelt fought against trusts and monopolies through vigorous enforcement of antitrust laws, notably the Sherman Antitrust Act. He initiated lawsuits against major corporations, such as the Northern Securities Company, to break up monopolistic practices and promote fair competition. Roosevelt also championed regulatory measures, establishing the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Bureau of Corporations to oversee and regulate industries. His approach, often termed "trust-busting," aimed to ensure economic fairness and protect consumers.
