What was the relationship between government and business in the late 1800?
In the latter half of the 1800s, businesses were doing pretty much what they wanted, including building monopolies, paying low wages, and allowing terrible working conditions. Government did little to stop it for a long time. Around 1890, the Progressives in government decided to put a stop to a lot of the abuse. The government started to regulate several business practices including making monopolies illegal. Businesses were not happy and have been fighting government regulations in one form or another ever since.

Why was the Sherman Anti-Trust passed?
In the United States, in the late 1800's, there were many monopolies. A monopoly is a business in an industry that other companies can't compete with. The problem with that is that the monopoly can charge whatever price they want for what they make, and when there is no competition there is no need to improve. Competition is what improves the world, just think about it. At that time there was also Trusts. Trusts are a group of monopolies lead by one board of directors. This is terrible for many businesses. The Sherman Antitrust Act banned trusts and monopolies. It was a very important Act.
