John D. Rockefeller

He gave much of his money to charities and the poor.

It was actually Standard Oil that was significant in the formation of the Cleveland Massacre in the late 1870s. John D. Rockefeller's company called Standard Oil held a monopoly on the oil traffic in and out of Cleveland until the Supreme Court ruled it had to be split up in 1911.

No, he made a fortune from oil.

John D. Rockefeller was a captain of industry because he crushed all local competition during his campaign with his oil company. He earned over 900 million dollars during his career and donated 550 million to charity. Hope this helps :D

Critics accused Rockefeller of engaging in unethical practices, such as predatory pricing and colluding with railroads to eliminate his competitors, in order to gain a monopoly in the industry. In 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court found Standard Oil in violation of anti-trust laws and ordered it to dissolve. During his life Rockefeller donated more than $500 million to various philanthropic causes. He was accused of being rich but that became true.

GOOD LUCK!!

Rockefeller made a deal with the railroads that led to him expanding horizontaly to take over the major refineries. Once he went horizontal he went vertical. Rockefeller controlled the up-stream, the pipelines, and the retail outlets.
