Rockfeller's Standard Oil Company was a point) that controlled more than 90 percent of the nation's refineries.
Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company was a monopoly that controlled more than 90 percent of the nation's refineries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company, founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1870, quickly grew and acquired numerous smaller oil companies, consolidating its power in the industry.
By using aggressive business practices such as price-cutting and fierce competition, Standard Oil was able to dominate the oil market. The company controlled not only the refining process but also the transportation and distribution of petroleum products, giving it a stranglehold on the entire industry.
This immense control over the oil industry allowed Standard Oil to dictate prices and manipulate the market. Its dominance led to concerns about unfair practices, anti-competitive behavior, and the suppressions of smaller competitors. It ultimately resulted in the United States government taking action against the company.
In 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the breakup of Standard Oil Company into 34 smaller, independent companies. This landmark ruling under the Sherman Antitrust Act marked the end of Standard Oil's monopoly power. Despite this breakup, many of the resulting companies, such as ExxonMobil and Chevron, still exist today as major players in the oil industry.

9. How were people of the Chinese and Hispanic background treated different from each other in America in the late 1800s? (1 point)
In the late 1800s, people of Chinese and Hispanic backgrounds were treated differently in America. Chinese immigrants faced significant discrimination and hostility, particularly due to the economic competition they posed to white American workers. They were subjected to systematic racism and exclusionary laws such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which prohibited Chinese laborers from entering the United States.
Chinese immigrants were often victims of violence and faced segregation in communities. They were also subjected to harsh working conditions and lower wages compared to their white counterparts.
On the other hand, Hispanic individuals faced discrimination based on their ethnicity as well, but the nature of their treatment differed. Hispanics were often marginalized and faced social and economic discrimination. However, they were not subject to explicit exclusionary laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Hispanic individuals also faced cultural and language barriers, which restricted their access to equal opportunities. They were often employed in low-wage and labor-intensive industries such as agriculture and faced discrimination in employment and housing.
Overall, both Chinese and Hispanic individuals faced discrimination and prejudice in the late 1800s, with Chinese immigrants experiencing more explicit legal restrictions and targeted violence.
The Chinese people could easily get high-paying jobs while Hispanics had some of the lowest-paying jobs.
Hispanics were allowed to become American citizens, but the Chinese people were not able to become U.S. citizens.
O Hispanics were not considered to be equal by most white settlers, while the Chinese were regarded as equal.
The Chinese were forced to integrate into American society while Hispanics were allowed to maintain their culture.
these are the choices
None of the given choices accurately represent the differences in how people of Chinese and Hispanic backgrounds were treated in America in the late 1800s. Here is a revised explanation:
In the late 1800s in America, both Chinese and Hispanic individuals faced discrimination and challenges, but the nature of their treatment differed.
Chinese immigrants faced significant discrimination and hostility. They were subjected to exclusionary and discriminatory laws, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prevented them from entering the United States and becoming citizens. They often faced violence, segregation, and harsh working conditions.
Hispanic individuals also faced discrimination based on their ethnicity, but they did not experience explicit exclusionary laws like the Chinese Exclusion Act. Hispanic individuals were marginalized, faced social and economic discrimination, and worked in low-wage industries. However, they were not prohibited from becoming U.S. citizens.
Neither group was considered equal by most white settlers during that time. Both Chinese and Hispanic individuals faced challenges in integrating into American society, although the extent of forced integration or allowance for cultural maintenance may have varied in different circumstances.
It is important to avoid generalizations and understand that the experiences of individuals within these communities were diverse and influenced by various factors such as location, occupation, and personal circumstances.
