Answer:

He broke up the Northern Securities Company.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Northern Securities Case was the case that established the Theodore Roosevelt reputation of “trust buster”. Roosevelt instructed the government to break the Northern Securities Company with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. The Company sued the government and the case reached the US Supreme Court. The Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the government.
