Oil and steel tycoons Rockefeller and Carnegie. They were extremely successful, using methods like vetical and horizontal integration. They monopolized their markets. You can look on wikipedia for more information.

Answer 2

Simple answer, we'd be speaking German right now. American was largely isolationist until WWI (and immediately following). Now a split America wouldn't have made too much different in WWI, however the U.S.A. helped the Allies push Germany back from France and other nations in Europe during WWII (England, though a stalwart, didn't have the resources to do it alone). A split America would not have had the man power either. Indeed, a split America probably wouldn't have had a strong presence in the Pacific, so Japan would not have needed to attack Pearl Harbor in order to cripple the American fleet there long enough for them to take necessary resources in the South Pacific. As such, American might not have even entered the war so early (if at all), and even if it did it would have been with insignificant resources (never mind the possibility that either the North or the South would have probably done the exact opposite of the other and joined the Axis powers). Even assuming Germany was satisfied with controlling most of Europe, it would have become the greatest world power and thus, if for no other reason than economics, we would be speaking German.
