 Thought Americans would not act in their own interests, but for the nation.  Factories cut production & laid off workers and farmers kept planting more. Wanted state and local levels to provide more jobs and take care of their own charities, but they didn’t have the money either. Thought the federal government should not give handouts. “rugged individualism.”
