The American welfare state interacted in complex ways with these nonpublic initiatives. In the early part of the 19th century, religious services were often mandated for inmates of poorhouses, mental asylums, and prisons. Sometimes public authorities funded not-for-profit subsidiaries of churches that refrained from proselytizing as they freely used public resources for their charity. More recently, such fundamentalist presidents as George W. S. Supreme Court to see if they violate the constitutional separation of church and state.
Colonial authorities and the land companies licensed by the Crown would sell vast tracts of land to these settlers, who would disperse onto this land, often in unsettled areas (except for Native Americans). If we broaden our definition of the welfare state to include such preventive programs, then the heart of the colonial welfare state was not its small collection of poorhouses and prisons, but its land distribution policies and involvement of many of its settlers in a market economy. Even indentured servants — a huge portion of the colonial population — intended to use their accumulated savings to purchase land even if they continued a specific trade in rural towns.
The rapid globalizing of the world in recent decades, as reflected by escalating movements of populations and capital across international boundaries, provides another reason for viewing the American welfare state in a global perspective. From the colonial period onward, Americans depended on immigration to provide them with a labor force sufficient to move the frontier westward— and then to provide workers for its emerging industry in the wake of the Civil War. The nation’s dependence on foreign capital in the 19th century was similar to the contemporary dependence of developing nations on capital inflows, and it exacerbated economic volatility in the United States with important repercussions for social policy.
