'John D Rockefeller' The Man Who Kneeled America

Nowadays America is a superpower and crude oil has a lead role in it. Benjamin Silliman and John Rockefeller had changed the history of the United States of America. America has only less than 5% population in the world but America uses 26% of oil in the world. And all this happens only because of these people. 

                 When the whole world is under England's Empire and the Indian Rebellion of 1857 was taking shape the chemist in 

Trumbull discovered crude oil. And he wants to patent it but America doesn't have a patent office so he went to Canada and patented it and gave it the name ' Rock oil ' ( oil that he discovered from rock ) which we call kerosene.

                     Benjamin Silliman

A boy who is in his 20s asked Benjamin Silliman to sell the Rock oil and he gave permission. That boy is John Rockefeller.

He observed that the streetlights are made with wax. He asked the municipal corporation to use rock oil instead of wax. The municipal corporation gave permission. So he started selling the oil. But to transport oil in the whole village he wants barrel and therefore he started factory of it. After some years the oil famous in the whole country. So started factory of railways to transport the oil. And in the next 32 years, the wealth of Rockefeller is 2.5 times of Bill Gates.

 He is the wealthiest person in 

modern era. And therefore President Benjamin Harrison Approved July 2, 1890, The Sherman Anti-Trust Act was the first Federal act that outlawed monopolistic business practices. And Rockefeller had to make parts of his company.  ExxonMobil, Socal (the standard oil of California). Turnover of these companies is equal to the total tax collection of India. Our former oil minister Mani Shankar Aiyar's account switch was handled in America by these companies. The U.S has an agreement with Saudi that is up to the next 60 years America will be the owner of Saudi oil. But after the attack on the world trade centre, America made political agenda that we have to become independent about crude oil in the next 20 years. And not only in 20 years but in 16 years America has become successful. America has stored oil which can use for 50 years if the import of oil will stop for America

                             America is a superpower not because of the Silicon Vally it is only because of crude oil.
