Monopolies seemed to be the best way to get a successful business... But what about the people? If you were the only person who sold soft drinks, then you could higher the price to whatever you want and everyone has to pay for that much if they want soft drinks. That's basically what a monopoly is. But how did it conflict with the idea of government by the people? In 1887, former president Rutherford B. Hayes asked, "Shall the will of monopolies take the place of government by the people?" The answer the American people gave was no. Americans cared about individual rights. That has given us strong anti-monopoly feelings.
The power of monopoly and the fact that you had to pay ridiculous prices made the Americans explode in anger... so that's basically how it happened...
