American principles and ideas of Social Darwinism encouraged the growth of big businesses because both focused on the idea that the strongest survive and thrive in the world. It was in keeping with the American Protestant work ethic as well as the idea that the individuals are responsible for their fate and can change their lives if they want. All these ideas were used to justify big businesses devouring the smaller ones or some people being more successful than others.
