This is a great documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wlNe... to watch if you want to learn of how Standard Oil took control of our world economy. I highly recommend you to look more into it and to subscribe to Corbett Report on YouTube. Some more information I have found. The following excerpt is from the PBS transcript of The Rockefellers: John Davison Rockefeller was born in 1839 — the second of five children. His mother, Eliza Davison Rockefeller, was deeply religious, stern, disciplined. Even as a young woman, she had not been given to smiles and laughter. But she had this fatal moment of weakness one day when William Avery Rockefeller appeared on her doorstep peddling cheap trinkets, and he had a little slate that was tied to his buttonhole, and on the slate he had chalked, “I am deaf and dumb.” This was part of his con man routine. And Eliza, quite out of character, was immediately smitten by this charming rascal, and in fact proclaimed in his presence, “I’d marry him if he weren’t deaf and dumb.” He’s a scoundrel. Apparently an enchanting scoundrel in person, and he certainly enchanted Eliza, and apparently he enchanted a good many other women, too, which is part of being a scoundrel. Unlike his devout wife, William Avery Rockefeller kept away from the church. He was a traveling man, a salesman who sold quack cures from a wagon out on the western frontier. People whispered about his footloose life. They called him “Devil Bill.” He would come and go as he pleased, never with advance warning. He’d be away for months — there’d be credit at the store. One winter he ran up a bill in one store of $1,000, and in the 19th century that’s an enormous sum of money. But then he would come back, most frequently at night so people would never know where he came from, and he would tell stories of his exploits that were never quite complete enough to pin him down as to what he had done or where he had done it. Devil Bill’s laughter and music flooded the house. He would be fingering wads of cash, wearing fancy new clothes. He once appeared with a patchwork tablecloth made out of bank notes. “I had a peculiar training in my home,” John D. observed of his childhood. ” It seemed to be a business training from the beginning.” Bill Rockefeller admitted to one of his neighbors, “I do business deals with my sons and I always try to cheat them to make them sharp.” Now, John D. did not always like those lessons in business, but he absorbed them. His father lent him money — always at the prevailing interest rate — then deliberately called in the loans without warning to make sure his son had kept reserves. With Devil Bill, John D. discovered the excitement of taking a big risk, the allure of cold cash. Eliza taught him the sober habits of her Christian faith — thrift, hard work, and perfect self control. He was like a little adult. When he went to school, students talked about him being Mr. Serious. And although he had a wonderful sense of humor that was very sly, for the most part he behaved very rigidly even, and liked things orderly, the way his mother did. Things occurred according to schedules. And there was a reward for good behaviour, and there was a sacrifice for bad behaviour. In 1849, the world fell apart for the Rockefeller family. Bill was accused of the rape of a maid he had hired to work in the household. Rather than confront the charges, he fled, leaving the family alone to face the scandal. It was a moment of intense shame for 10 year-old John. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wlNe...
