![Page 28: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Answer Fourteen• Horizontal Integration exists
when several firms engaged in the same kind of business are joined together. If a horizontally integrated business becomes large enough, it could achieve a monopoly of that industry.
![Page 30: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

businesses engaged in different but related businesses are joined. In a typical example of vertical integration, a company would own the businesses which provide raw materials which are used in the finished product produced by the company.
![Page 32: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Answer Sixteen• Standard Oil controlled 90% of
the oil business in the United States. Later, the US government decided that Standard Oil was a monopoly abusing its’ powers and broke the company up into several smaller oil companies.
![Page 34: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Answer Eighteen• Rebate is a discount. Standard Oil
received a discount of 25 to 50 percent on its’ shipping when they agreed to use certain railroads. This gave Standard Oil an unfair advantage over its’ smaller competitors.

Short Answer Two• What role did the railroads
play in the settlement of the Great Plains?
![Page 46: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)

Answer• Railroads opened up routes of
transportation into previously unsettled land. This allowed settlers to go there to farm while being assured that they could get their products to market. Railroads also called on the army to subdue the Indians which made the Great Plains safer for settlement.

![Page 52: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Answer• Corporations allowed for the
spreading of risk, pooling of risk, limited liability, and the raising of capital. Corporations also allowed smaller investors to “pool” their money in order to make an investment in a company.
![Page 54: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Short Answer Five• Define the “Sherman Anti-
Trust Act” and explain why it was enacted.
![Page 55: West and Industrialization](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062811/56815ff3550346895dcef1e4/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Answer• The Sherman Anti-Trust Act wrote into law the
principle that private monopolies which led to artificial restraints on trade or unfair trade practices were wrong. This law was enacted in order to address abuses by some big businesses who abused their status as monopolies such as Standard Oil and the American Sugar Refining Company. This law remains important even today as Microsoft has been taken to court in violation of this law recently.
