Industrialists such as Rockefeller, Carnegie, and Morgan were controversial because of

their vast wealth. Should these industrialists (and other major industrialists of the era)
be labeled "Robber Barons" or "Captains of Industry?" Justify your opinion with concrete
facts.

Answer: Yes

Explanation: They will be qualified as robber barons because people like Rockefeller owned the whole market. The only way to get oil back then was right through him and he could set the price at anything he wanted and people would still have to buy it
