The Sherman Anti-trust act was similar to the Clayton Anti-trust act, in that it prohibited bug business, but it also prohibited labor unions. This act was passed by Woodrow Wilson in 1914. Before, the government had been far to lenient with big businesses. This act was a response to the failure of the Sherman anti-Trust act. This act prohibited companies from making exclusive contracts, rebates, inter-corporate stock holdings, and price cutting. However the difference between this act and the Sherman Anti-trust act, was that this one no longer restricted labor unions. Instead of prohibiting unions, it protected the workers rights, which made it more successful.

The Executive Order 9066 was brought into effect After Pearl Harbor. Because of the horrible attack on Pearl Harbor, the American people became very cautious and concerned with the Japanese Americans.

This order, allowed for the creation of military zones, in which the Japanese Americans were forced to move there. This action, isolated the Japanese people from the rest of America.
