Answer:

Theodore Roosevelt's renewed enforcement of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act in 1901 led to the trust busting of Northern Securities Company.

Step-by-step explanation:

Northern Securities Company was J. P. Morgan's rail company, which was founded in 1902 from the merger of Northern Pacific, Union Pacific Railroad and Burlington Railroad Co. In February 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt accused the company of violating the Sherman Anti-trust Act. The case found its finale before the Supreme Court, which in March 1904 issued a judgment ordering dissolution of the company. After this judgment, Roosevelt earned the nickname "Teddy, trust conqueror."
