Abstract
Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company was founded in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller and several of his business associates, including his brother William Rockefeller, Henry Flagler, chemist Samuel Andrews, and a silent partner Stephen V. Harkness. It started out as a small Ohio partnership with its base in Cleveland but soon developed into one of the most dominant companies in the northeastern United States, putting numerous small corporations out of business in the process. John D Rockefeller began as a lowly oil business book-keeper in Cleveland, Ohio and in just seven years rose to control a tenth of the entire US oil business. "In the late 19th century the oil industry was a free-for-all, the law of the jungle ruled. Rockefeller used this 'individual freedom' to pursue several extremely successful and deceitful tactics to accumulate capital".
