The Civil War propelled the northern industries into the age of the Robber Barons, the magnates of industry. American began its rise as an industrial wold power. Except for an economic crash or two, the North prospered.
Three notable examples of robber barons are John D. Rockefeller, who dominated the oil industry with Standard Oil; Andrew Carnegie, who led the expansion of the steel industry through Carnegie Steel; and Cornelius Vanderbilt, who made his fortune in railroads and shipping. These industrialists are often criticized for their ruthless business practices, exploitation of labor, and monopolistic control, which contributed to significant wealth inequality during the Gilded Age in the United States.

The Golden Age.
The phrase "The public be damned" is famously attributed to railroad magnate William H. Vanderbilt. He reportedly expressed this sentiment in the context of prioritizing profit and business interests over public concerns. Vanderbilt was a prominent figure during the Gilded Age, known for his significant influence in the railroad industry and his often ruthless business practices.
John D. Rockefeller was referred to as a "robber baron" due to his business practices that were seen as ruthless and exploitative. He gained control of the oil industry by employing tactics such as consolidation, aggressive competition, and price manipulation, which allowed him to amass significant wealth and power at the expense of others. This term reflects the negative perception of his business tactics during the Gilded Age.
Yes! He monopolized the Gilded Age oil industry with the Standard Oil Company.

There is no age requirement. Anyone with a new item or innovation can share that item or innovation. This is what makes one an inventor, not age or any other subjective criteria.
Henry Ford began his innovation in the automotive industry in his early 30s. He established the Ford Motor Company in 1903 at the age of 40, but his significant contributions, including the introduction of the assembly line for mass production, began in earnest with the Model T in 1908. This marked a turning point in manufacturing and made automobiles more accessible to the general public.
