Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.13
How would labor union movements be affected if Congress had rejected the Sherman Anti-Trust Act?
American capitalism might collapse due to unchecked monopolistic practices by industries.
Workers would face more exploitation with no legal protections available against corporations.
Westward expansion would slow down as there is less capital available for investment into infrastructure projects like railroads.
Labor unions might have grown stronger and more powerful without legal barriers aimed at curtailing monopolies and trusts.
