Carnegie was a famous business man, but in his later years he became more charitable. He made many public libraries and called them the
"Carnegie libraries." He wanted to make libraries so that people could have a place to learn, a place of public education. Carnegie also gave a lot of money to start universities and institutions. After he sold his company to J.P. Morgan, the rest of his life he decided to put toward charitable activities.
Throughout his life he gave away over $350 million. Carnegie created libraries and created trusts in order to put forth education and knowledge and also world wide peace.
Carnegie wanted to leave the world a better place than it was when he found it.
