Clearly, despite the rhetoric, which glorified limited government, th…

  • The Federal Government and Social Welfare in Early Nineteenth-Century America

    Walter I TrattnerARTICLESocial Service Review1976

    Historians and others now generally agree that, in economic matters, the "welfare state" began prior to the 1930s, some one hundred years earlier. However, it is commonly assumed that it was not until the Great Depression that active federal involvement in social welfare matters was initiated.
