Robber Barons The term robber barons was a derogatory term applied to powerful, wealthy industrialists—the captains of industry who monopolized the railroads, the steel industry, the tobacco industry, the oil industry, and the financiers who controlled the banks and used unfair business practices.

Captains of Industry The term captains of industry describes a group of entrepreneurs, inventors, and businessmen in the 1800s who acquired great wealth and success from their endeavors. The captains of industry were compassionate men who used their wealth and influence in a positive way, making important contributions to the nation and to improve the lives of the American people.
