Briefly discuss the history of federal grants in the United States.
(77) VerifiedAnswers will vary. Even before the Constitution was adopted, the national government granted lands to the states to finance education. Using the proceeds from the sale of these lan ds, the states were able to establish elementary schools and, later, land-grant colleges. Cash grants started in 1808, when Congress gave funds to the states to pay for the state militias. Federal grants were also made available for other purposes, such as building roads and railroads. Only in the twentieth century, though, did federal grants become an important source of funds to the states. The major growth began in the 1960s, when the dollar amount of grants quadrupled to help pay for the Great Society programs of the Johnson administration. Grants became available for education, pollution control, conservation, recreation, highway construction and maintenance, and other purposes. There are two basic types of federal grants: categorical grants and block grants.
