You decide.
Research two of these businessmen (watch the videos). 

Write one paragraph for the first businessman you chose.  Write another for the second.
Finally, as a third paragraph, tell if you think they were "robber barons" or "captains of industry" and explain why (give justification for your answer).

* If you do not have headphones, I have attached written biographies of these men (red tabs); however, in all truth, I want you to watch the videos.  You will learn more, I assure you.]]> 2017-10-25 02:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_geary/qc0ge4bl06al/wish/200253694 John D.
