Certain families such as the Rockefellers, DuPonts, Harrimans gained immense wealth from the explosion of American industry under the Robber Barons. This translated into significant political influence, as clearly represented by the pro business administrations of the late 19th century, as well as the expansionist, imperialist foreign policy of the US State Department.
