Both helped America begin its boom in economy. Although robber barons were basically thieves, they played a large role in Americas industry. For instance, Russell Sage, from anefstead, paid his workers a very minimal wage, but after his fist wife passed away from stomach cancer he began donating funds to cancer societies. He also donated money after taking control of the New York City stocks with Gould but lost and never dealt with stocks again. So even though he was considered a robber baron he did help the society financially.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOther robber barons that helped America were:<br \/>\n-J. P. Morgan, cjewell<br \/>\n-James Fisk, cowens <br \/>\n-James Buchanan Duke, kdennis<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n    Captains of industry assisted the industry in just as a great way as the robber barons but without the stealing. One in particular man that aided America was Andrew Mellon, from lnordland, he created plans to help the people save money involving different taxes. He also practiced fundraising with the Red Cross and the national war council of the YMCA. In addition he donated money to the national art gallery. With all these donations of time and money captains of industry pushed America financially. <br \/>\n<br \/>\nOther captains of industry that helped aAmerica were:<br \/>\n-Andrew Carnegie, Bwheaton <br \/>\n-Insley Blair ,cfiker<br \/>\n-Charles Francis Adams, mbell","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
