Podcasts about homestead act

Let's take a moment to explore the powerful and often overlooked history of women and money in America. This journey has been marked by bold shifts, surprising setbacks, and undeniable progress. The path has been anything but linear from the 1862 Homestead Act to women now leading Fortune 500 companies.   This isn't just a look back; it's a reminder that your wealth-building journey is part of something bigger. When we understand the laws that shaped us, like the Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, and celebrate pioneers like Madam C.J. Walker, we begin to see that financial independence isn't just about money. It's about power, legacy, and rewriting the future.   Why does this matter now? I believe every woman deserves the financial power to walk away from any job or relationship that isn't serving her. This episode is a reminder that we're not just chasing wealth, we're building freedom.   Let's keep learning, investing, valuing ourselves, and enjoying the journey together.   01:15 – Before 1974: Needing a man's permission to open a bank account 04:30 – The Homestead Act and the start of women's property rights 06:15 – Madam CJ Walker's legacy of empowerment 07:45 – The 19th Amendment and why voting is part of wealth-building 10:00 – The Equal Pay Act: Progress and reality 12:45 – Janet Yellen and the rise of women in economic leadership 14:00 – From one female CEO in 1972 to over 50 today

On June 17, 1867, a battalion of the 10th U.S. Infantry began building a fort to protect westward travelers. The Homestead Act, combined with the end of the Civil War, had led to increased westward migration. Soldiers used oak logs to construct buildings, all arranged within a fortification made of sod. An area of ten square miles with the fort at its center was designated as the Fort Ransom Military Reservation. The fort was named after Major General Thomas E.G. Ransom of the U.S. Volunteers.

Story Show veteran Jen Vogt-Erickson returns to the show with a story about multiple generations of her family. Many of Jen's ancestors came to the US during the latter half of the 19th century and settled on land in Minnesota and the Dakota Territory due to the Homestead Act of 1862. These are the people she thought of when she first heard the theme “Blaze Your Trail.” At the time she was also reading a book on climate change called The Parrot and the Igloo and noticed how it intersected with this period and her family's history in the U.S. 

Dakota Territory was settled by a diverse population as people moved west to the Great Plains. Historian Stephanie Roper notes that, “Although Black people were never numerous, they entered the territory with the first white settlers and made a significant contribution to the land and its people.” After the Civil War, many freed slaves took advantage of the Homestead Act and moved to Dakota Territory to start new lives.

Property Law What is Property? Property is a legally protected interest in something tangible or intangible. It can be classified into real property (land and attachments) and personal property (movable items and intangible rights). The Bundle of Rights Theory views property rights as a collection of individual rights, including possessing, using, excluding others from, and transferring ownership. History of Property Law Property law originated from English common law and developed through feudalism, market economies, and American colonial history. The feudal system transitioned into a system of private ownership. In American history, property law played a role in nation-building (Homestead Act of 1862) but was also used to dispossess Native Americans and justify slavery.

Foundations of Property Law I. Introduction Property law, which governs the ownership, use, and transfer of property, is crucial for regulating resource allocation, resolving disputes, ensuring stability, fairness, and economic development. Property is defined as a "legally protected interest that a person or entity has in a tangible or intangible thing," and property rights are essential to understanding the relationships between individuals, communities, and the state regarding resources, land, and possessions. Categorization of Property Real Property: Land and anything permanently attached (buildings, trees). Personal Property: Movable items (vehicles, jewelry, furniture) and intangible rights (intellectual property, stocks). Tangible Property: Physical items that can be touched and moved. Intangible Property: Non-physical assets (patents, copyrights, bank accounts). Bundle of Rights Theory Property rights are a collection of rights including the rights to possess, use, exclude others, and transfer ownership. These rights are not absolute and may be limited by law, agreements, or societal interests. II. Historical Context and Evolution English Common Law Roots US property law is based on English common law, which developed from the feudal system where land ownership was hierarchical, with the king owning all land and tenants holding it in exchange for obligations. The decline of feudalism and rise of market economies led to a gradual transformation of landholding into private ownership where individuals could acquire rights to own and transfer land freely. American Values and Historical Injustices US property law reflects individual liberty and economic opportunity. The Homestead Act of 1862 granted settlers land ownership, emphasizing property as a tool for nation-building and personal empowerment. However, property law has also been used to dispossess Native Americans and perpetuate social and economic injustice, as seen in the Doctrine of Discovery and the treatment of enslaved people as chattel property. Landmark Judicial Decisions Pierson v. Post (1805): Established the principle of first possession, ruling that ownership is conferred upon the individual who first takes possession of a resource. Johnson v. M'Intosh (1823): Reinforced federal authority over land transactions with Native Americans. III. Acquisition of Property Property can be acquired through various methods, including: First Possession: The first person to take control of a resource or object becomes its owner (illustrated in Pierson v. Post). Adverse Possession: Acquiring property by occupying it for a statutory period, under specific conditions (open and notorious, continuous, exclusive, and hostile possession). Discovery: Finding new, unclaimed lands or resources. Capture: Taking control of wild animals or other unowned objects. Creation: Acquiring property rights through invention, artwork, or discovery (the basis of intellectual property law). Gift Transfers: Elements of a valid gift include intent, delivery, and acceptance. IV. Key Doctrines and Concepts Estates and Future Interests: Estates are legal interests or rights in land, determining the duration and conditions of ownership (fee simple, life estate, fee tail, defeasible estates). Future interests are rights to property that will vest in the future (reversion, remainder). Rule Against Perpetuities: Prevents indefinite restrictions on property transfer. Co-Ownership: Multiple individuals share ownership (joint tenancy, tenancy in common, community property, tenancy by the entirety). V. Conclusion Property law seeks to balance individual rights, societal interests, and economic needs. It is a dynamic system that continually evolves to address modern challenges. Understanding the foundational principles of property law is essential for navigating complex and changing situations.

In his nifty new history of the Homestead Act, Richard Edwards says the “three perils” of homesteading on the Great Plains were grasshoppers, prairie fires, and childbirth — and good on him for recognizing the third of these as the most perilous of all. Earlier historians of homesteading were so focused on masculine aspects of their subject, they neglected the obvious.

If we're going to live in this level land we call the Great Plains — and I expect to do so until I die — then there are some fundamentals we need to come to terms with. Like the Homestead Act, signed by Abraham Lincoln on 20 May 1862. Unless we are Indigenous, we should think about what it means to be the heirs of a landed, settler society. Fortunately, we have Richard Edwards and his book, Great Plains Homesteaders, to help us out.

I've been arguing, along with Richard Edwards and his new book, Great Plains Homesteaders, that we should rethink our history with the Homestead Act on the Great Plains. You can do some of this for yourself, of course. If you have a homesteading ancestor, then you can order up the land patent file from the National Archives and learn the gritty details of proving up. You can scroll through the digitized pages of your local and regional newspapers and watch the notices of final proof blink in across the landscape like farmyard lights at prairie dusk.

I've never been to space, but it has been said that from outer space there are three man-made technologies visible: the Great Wall of China and electric illumination of the world's largest cities are the first two. The third are the green crop circles created by center pivot irrigation. It has been said that the center pivot irrigation system is “perhaps the most significant mechanical innovation in agriculture since the replacement of draft animals by the tractor”. Today, over 50% of the irrigated field acres in North America are using the center pivot concept. And other modern agricultural countries are catching up, such as Brazil, Argentina, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. It's no coincidence that this agricultural technology was invented by someone who farmed on top of the largest aquifer in the western hemisphere: the Ogallala Aquifer which is sometimes called the High Plains Aquifer. Geologists estimate the aquifer was formed about 5 million years ago by ancient erosion from the Rocky Mountains carried eastward by rivers, along with the additional accumulation of countless rains and snows. It now stretches beneath 174,000 square miles, underlying parts of eight states: South Dakota, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Oklahoma and New Mexico, which makes up most of what we call the great plains. This area has been the setting for numerous big ag stories over the years, from the great cattle drives of the 1800s that we covered in our Cattle Kingdom episode, to the land grab of the Homestead Act to the dirty thirties of the dust bowl. But there is no doubt that the center pivot was a major game changer, and it allowed the tough settlers of this rough country to turn this desert land into one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. I've had the chance to live in two different agricultural areas made possible by the Ogallala aquifer: in the panhandle of Texas where I lived and worked in Amarillo and Dumas, Texas. Then years later I lived in Northwest Kansas where I commuted up to my job in Benkelman, Nebraska. So I've been able to see firsthand what this incredible resource can do for farming and for rural economics when combined with the revolutionary ag technology we'll discuss today: the center-pivot invented by Frank Zybach. Frank definitely fits my criteria for these history episodes as an ag innovator that I wish I could interview if they were still alive. It highlights the impact innovation can have on the ag economy and carries valuable lessons for all of us aspiring ag innovators out there. But it also is a case study about agricultural sustainability. The aquifer is a limited resource, built from snowmelt coming off the rocky mountains over thousands of years. In the 72 years since Frank Zybach patented his invention, water levels in many parts of the Ogallala Aquifer have dropped drastically, many times larger than what could possibly be replenished.

For thousands of years, American Indian tribes lived in what is now North Dakota with their own systems of government and economy. They were pushed out of their traditional lands as Euro-Americans began to arrive. The Homestead Act of 1862 attracted new immigrants with promises of cheap land, while tribes were confined to reservations as new settlers established their homes.

Squatter rights, often referred to as "adverse possession," allow individuals who occupy land without the owner's permission to potentially gain legal ownership after a certain period. Each state has different laws governing how and when squatter rights apply. States That Recognize Squatter Rights California: Under California law, a squatter can claim adverse possession if they possess the property openly, continuously, and without permission for five years. Texas: In Texas, squatters can gain rights after ten years of continuous, visible, and notorious possession. New York: New York allows squatters to claim adverse possession after ten years of uninterrupted possession. Florida: In Florida, a squatter must occupy the property for seven years and demonstrate "color of title" to claim adverse possession. Illinois: Illinois requires a squatter to possess the property for 20 years without permission. Federal Law Regarding Squatter Rights While squatter rights are primarily governed by state law, certain federal laws can play a role in property ownership disputes, especially concerning eviction procedures. The Homestead Act of 1862 allowed individuals to claim land under specific conditions, although this act is rarely invoked today. Federal law typically supports state regulations, which is why understanding your state's laws is critical. How to Avoid Squatter Rights on Your Property Here are some practical strategies to help you protect your property from squatters: 1. Regular Property Inspections Conduct regular inspections of your property, especially if it's vacant. Frequent visits can deter squatters and help you spot any unauthorized occupancy early. 2. Secure Your Property Invest in strong locks, security systems, and fencing. Make your property less accessible to prevent potential squatters from taking residence. 3. Maintain Your Property Keep your property well-maintained and visibly occupied. Overgrown lawns or dilapidated buildings can attract squatters. Regular maintenance can convey that the property is cared for and monitored. 4. Post No Trespassing Signs Clearly mark your property with "No Trespassing" signs. While this won't guarantee protection, it can serve as a legal deterrent and demonstrate that you do not consent to unauthorized entry. 5. Utilize Surveillance Cameras Installing surveillance cameras can deter squatters and provide evidence if you need to take legal action. Make sure the cameras are visible to enhance their deterrent effect. 6. Engage Neighbors Communicate with your neighbors about your property. They can help monitor it and notify you of any suspicious activity. 7. Quick Legal Action If you discover someone squatting on your property, take immediate legal action. Consult an attorney specializing in property law to understand your rights and options for eviction.

For years all immigrants were allowed into the U.S., but some could not become citizens. Later, certain nationalities were limited or completely banned. This episode outlines those changes through the 1980s and discusses the pseudoscience of eugenics and how it was used to justify such bigotry and even involuntary sterilizations in the 20th Century. 

The Homestead Act of 1862 placed land in the hands of men and women willing to work hard to realize their American dream. Any qualified person who lived on the claim for five years and improved it could claim 160 acres for a small filing fee. The Act applied to "any person," meaning women and freed slaves were eligible. At the end of five years, the claimant could pay the sum of eighteen dollars to earn ownership of the 160 acres.

The Homestead Act of 1862 opened the American West to settlement. Newcomers could claim 160 acres after living on it for five years, paying only a small fee for the land. Along with attracting settlers, the promise of nearly free land attracted speculators who gobbled up large tracts of land and then sold it at an inflated price.

When Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act of 1862, there was a rush of people who moved west to claim the free land that was offered.  However, there was a problem. Creating physical divisions for plots of land on the prairie was difficult when there was no stone or wood.  Eventually, there was a solution to the problem, which offered a cheap way to divide land…and created a whole host of new problems as well.  Learn more about barbed wire and how it shaped the American West, warfare, and much more, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In this podcast episode, Diana and Nicole talk with guest Michelle Mickelson, AG, about the significance of the Homestead Act of 1862 in spurring westward expansion and its implications for genealogy. They explore how this act allowed people to claim and cultivate land in states like Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah, and discuss how genealogists can access these land records through the National Archives, Bureau of Land Management's General Land Office, and state archives. The documents typically include crucial details such as land location, descriptions, and proof of improvements, essential for tracing ancestry. The episode also covers the complexities of understanding land grant documents, the influence of Spanish and Mexican governance on land grants, and modern tools like GIS for mapping ancestral properties. Additionally, they discuss related topics such as mining and agricultural records, irrigation and water rights, and offer practical advice for accessing and interpreting these records to uncover more about one's ancestors.

In part one of a two-part episode, we embark on a journey through America's history of racial injustice; we welcomed scholars William Darity and A. Kirsten Mullen to discuss the imperative of Black reparations. Under the weight of the past and the shadow of Confederate monuments, our conversation meanders through the Sugar Land Massacre, the broken promise of 40 acres post-Civil War, and the haunting tale of Hortense MacLinton, UNC Chapel Hill's pioneering Black professor. The dialogue deepens as we confront the federal government's responsibility to address this historical debt and the moral obligation that compels our nation to act.The concept of wealth and its origins take center stage, revealing the stark disparity between white communities and Black Americans in their generational accumulation of prosperity. We dissect the role of historical land grants and policies such as the Homestead Act of 1862 in shaping today's racial wealth gap. Our guests, Darity and Mullen, navigate us through the complexities of federal reparations, emphasizing the inadequacy of local initiatives and underscoring the need for a national strategy to meet the $16 trillion endeavor necessary to forge equality.In our final segment, we scrutinize the autonomy and precedent set by direct payments in historical restitution cases, holding up the lens to America's capability and collective will to enact reparations. The discourse, rich with historical context and fueled by passion for justice, leaves us at the precipice of action, with a community-powered Q&A that challenges our collective understanding and calls us to engage further. This episode not only reflects on the past but also ignites the crucial conversation about what we owe each other as a society moving forward.Support the show

The Homestead Act promoted westward expansion by offering free land to people who would settle in the west, building homes and farms. Colonization companies also played a role. In both the United States and Canada, colonization companies bought tracts of land.

At first, Erika Bolstad knew only one thing about her great-Grandmother, Anna: she was a homesteader on the North Dakota prairies in the early 1900s before her husband committed her to an asylum under mysterious circumstances. As Erika's mother was dying, she revealed more. Their family still owned the mineral rights to Anna's land—and oil companies were interested in the black gold beneath the prairies. Their family, Erika learned, could get rich thanks to the legacy of a woman nearly lost to history. Thus, began Erika's journey into the past. She joins Russell and Alan to share her discoveries, which she also relates in her memoir, “Windfall: The Prairie Woman Who Lost Her Way and the Great-Granddaughter Who Found Her.”

As debates rage in state legislatures and school boards about history curriculums or critical race theory or the impact of slavery, we know that how we imagine our future has everything to do with how we remember our past. In this episode, we begin our series pulling apart the stories we have been told about the American Dream through our own multiple, honest, complicated stories of Dreaming America. We begin with our host, Amanda Henderson's own family story. Moving West to find a better life, open space, and a land of their own, Amanda's grandparent's encountered hardship and built community. Their story mirrors the classic stories we have been told about pioneers and homesteaders, and there was more to that story, and there is more to our story. Begin the journey for the weeks ahead in the American Southwest with the stories we are told before we move further into the many stories we hold. Resources to learn more:Homestead Act of 1862 - https://www.archives.gov/milestone-documents/homestead-act#:~:text=The%20Homestead%20Act%2C%20enacted%20during,plot%20by%20cultivating%20the%20land.  Subscribe to the Complexified Newsletter on Substack - https://complexified.substack.com/Connect with us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/complexifiedpodcast/Complexified Website - https://www.complexified.org/ Resources from the Guest:New River (Images of America) Book, Marcy Millerhttps://www.amazon.com/River-Images-America-Marcy-Miller/dp/1467115932Land of Our Own: New River, Arizona Paperbackby Pauline Essary Grimes (Author)"How the American Dream Has Changed Over Time."

Dimitri and Khalid continue their excavation of venal ruling class criminality in Volume II of Gustavus Myers' epic anthology “History of the Great American Fortunes”, including: massive land thefts, subversion of the Homestead Act, corruption of the legislatures, fraudulent privatization of public lands, the perennial bourgeois psyop of “reformism”, and the sinister trialectic between immiserated workers, silk topper monopolists, and the perennially shrinking middle classes.

In episode 306, Kestrel welcomes Tameka Peoples, the founder and CEO of Seed2Shirt, to the show. A Black-woman-owned vertically integrated ethical apparel production & boutique cotton merchant firm, Seed2Shirt is focused on rebuilding equitable systems and institutions. “You're seeing laws put into place like the 1862 Homestead Act where there were millions of acres of land just given to white families. And Black people were at the same time, being burned out of their communities. What I mean by that is — there's elements to this thing that we call fashion — that's connected to raw commodity that's connected to land that is a part of the blood, sweat and tears that Black people have put and poured into this economy and poured into this country.” -Tameka When we look back at agriculture in the United States, a lot of the origins of farming in this country were built on an extractive, harmful, and extremely damaging history. So much was stolen and stripped – from lives to land to livelihoods.  We don't talk enough in the fashion industry about its true origins – about who helped build the cotton industry – a textile that has been deemed and marketed as: *the fabric of our lives*.  From 1765 to 1861, during the years of Chattel Slavery, $528 billion dollars worth of cotton were farmed – mind you, this happened with the use of enslaved labor. Fast forward through layers and layers of other significant historical moments to where we are today. While the cotton industry in the United States was literally grown by Black folks, today – the numbers say there are less than 1% Black Cotton Farmers. This week's guest understands so much depth of this history – and when she discovered she couldn't buy a t-shirt made by Black folks using cotton farmed by Black folks, she decided she had to make one.  This was the seed that has continued to grow and flourish into what she is doing today – while many may call it conscious fashion, for her – it's so much more than that. As a self-proclaimed solutionist, she's rebuilding equitable systems and institutions, with intention and care, while supporting Black farmers along the way. Quotes & links from the conversation: “Yes, they love Black images and Black body and Black fashion and they use us to sell to people for industry. But what part of that industry do we own and control?” -Tameka (9:45) “You're seeing laws put into place like the 1862 Homestead Act where there were millions of acres of land just given to white families. And Black people were at the same time, being burned out of their communities. What I mean by that is — there's elements to this thing that we call fashion — that's connected to raw commodity that's connected to land that is a part of the blood, sweat and tears that Black people have put and poured into this economy and poured into this country. So, we are building back land elements, we're building back equity for Black cotton farmers, we're building an institution that portions of it we control that they can plug into, and then, we're part of larger institutions that allow farmers that are in this space allow their cotton to move through.” (14:29) -Tameka “Everyone has a responsibility to figure out what their role is in doing their part. You walk around anywhere and there's a recycling bin and they're encouraging — hey, if that's a plastic bottle, or if that's paper or cardboard, put it here. So, everyone plays a role — we believe our programs really can change the world for the better.” (21:18) -Tameka “This is about bringing back livelihood, honor and justice into Black farming, Black cotton farming, Black production, and we can't wait for anyone else to do it for us.” (38:04) -Tameka Bridgeforth Family Farms, Black owned & operated farm since 1877 (Seed2Shirt partner) Donate to Seed2Shirt's Farmer Enrichment Program > Seed2Shirt Events Upcoming Farm Tours Seed2Shirt Website Follow Seed2Shirt on Instagram >

As the Homestead Act of 1860 began to draw new settlers to the frontier with the promise of free land, politicians and businessmen portrayed Dakota Territory as a farming utopia. Homesteading attracted people who wanted to settle down to a life of farming or ranching. The American West quickly became associated with the cowboy life and vast herds of beef cattle. There were also the Bonanza farms, with huge expanses of wheat.

Paying the price. One of the typical questions asked during conversations about reparations is how to pay for them. Fabiola talks with economist William “Sandy” Darity and folklorist Kirsten Mullen about how reparations could be executed. The husband-and-wife team lays out a comprehensive framework in their book, From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century, for who would qualify and how the federal government would afford the $14 trillion price tag. This is part of 40 Acres, a four-part series examining reparations in the United States. This series was made possible by a grant from the Canopy Collective and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

If Alexander The Great Hadn't Died, He Might Have Conquered Europe, Circumnavigated Africa, and Built His Own Silk Road“And Alexander wept, seeing as he had no more worlds to conquer.” That's a quote from Hans Gruber in Die Hard, which is a very convoluted paraphrase from Plutarch's essay collection “Moralia.” Despite the questionable sourcing, there's plenty of truth in that unattributed quote from Mr. Gruber. Alexander the Great's death at 323 BC in Babylon marked the end of the most consequential military campaign in antiquity. He left behind an empire that stretched from Greece to India, planted the seeds of the Silk Road, and made Greek an international language across Eurasia, all in 13 short years. He became and remained the biggest celebrity in the ancient world, probably only replaced by Jesus a few centuries into the Christian era. But what if he had not died as a young man? What if he had lived years or decades more? How much more influence could he have had? We have clues about Alexander's plans for the future – and they come from Greek chroniclers Diodorus and Arrian, writing centuries after his death. They include conquering the Mediterranean coast all the way to the Pillars of Hercules (Rock of Gibraltar), building a tomb for his father Philp that would be as large as the Great Pyramid of Giza, and transplanting populations from Greece to Persia and vice versa to unite his domains through intermarriage.To explore this hypothetical scenario is Anthony Everitt, author of “Alexander the Great: His Life and Mysterious Death.” We look at the life of the most influential person in the ancient world, and explore the ramifications of his life having even more influence.Links for Show Notes:Continue listening to History Unplugged:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3Ysc7ZgSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3j0QRJyParthenon: https://www.parthenonpodcast.com/history-unplugged-podcastDiscover more episodes of History Unplugged: Lost Airmen: The Epic Rescue of WWII U.S. Bomber Crews Stranded in the Yugoslavian Mountains: https://apple.co/3Weu5wr / https://spoti.fi/3HunolzThe Way that Lincoln Financed the Civil War Led to Transcontinental Railroads, Public Colleges, the Homestead Act, and Income Tax: https://apple.co/3iVtpxs / https://spoti.fi/3iYxtx6After Custer's Last Stand, Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse Fought an Impossible Battle To Preserve the Sioux Nation: https://apple.co/3uKbc8F / https://spoti.fi/3BvFLTk Almost President: Stephen Douglas, Thomas Dewey, and Other Failed Candidates That Would've Altered History Most by Winning: https://apple.co/3hgdVDZ / https://spoti.fi/3FlO2ujNo Supply Chain Was More Complicated Than the Allies' During WW2.

Paying the price. One of the typical questions asked during conversations about reparations is how to pay for them. Fabiola talks with economist William “Sandy” Darity and folklorist Kirsten Mullen about how reparations could be executed. The husband-and-wife team lays out a comprehensive framework in their book, From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century, for who would qualify and how the federal government would afford the $14 trillion price tag. This is part of 40 Acres, a four-part series examining reparations in the United States. This series was made possible by a grant from the Canopy Collective and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

The financing of the Civil War was as crucial to the shaping of American history as the Emancipation Proclamation and the defeat of the Confederacy. Not only did the Lincoln government establish a national banking system, they invented many things to deepen and broaden the government's involvement in the lives of ordinary Americans—the transcontinental railroad, the Homestead Act, the Morrill Act (endowing land-grant colleges for the middle class), help for farmers, a government role in immigration, a new system of taxes including, for the first time, income taxes.Lincoln and his fellow Republicans created a new notion of what government could do—larger, more proactive, more responsible for the national welfare. Lincoln and his allies had been fighting for this agenda for years, and until the war had been on the losing side. In the case of Lincoln personally, and for many of the original GOP leaders, belief in government arose from personal experience. Lincoln wanted the government to promote opportunity for others like himself—that is, for pioneers, poor settlers, remote western farmers. So the party backed legislation to support transportation, education, credit facilities, and so forth.Today's guest is Roger Lowenstein, author of Ways and Means: Lincoln, His Cabinet and the Financing of the Civil War. Lincoln and his cabinet created a new notion of what government could be—larger, more proactive, more responsible for the national welfare.
