In the United States in the early 1800's, individual state governments had more effect on
the economy than did the federal government. States chartered manufacturing, banking,
mining, and transportation firms and participated in the construction of various internal
improvements such as canals, turnpikes, and railroads. The states encouraged internal
improvements in two distinct ways; first, by actually establishing state companies to build such
improvement; second, by providing part of the capital for mixed public-private companies
setting out to make a profit.
In the early nineteenth century, state governments also engaged in a surprisingly large
amount of direct regulatory activity, including extensive licensing and inspection programs.
Licensing targets reflected both similarities in and differences between the economy of the
nineteenth century and that of today: in the nineteenth century, state regulation through
licensing fell especially on peddlers, innkeepers, and retail merchants of various kinds. The
perishable commodities of trade generally came under state inspection, and such important
frontier staples as lumber and gunpowder were also subject to state control. Finally, state
governments experimented with direct labor and business regulation designed to help the
individual laborer or consumer, including setting maximum limits on hours of work and
restrictions on price-fixing by businesses.
Although the states dominated economic activity during this period, the federal
government was not inactive. Its goals were the facilitation of western settlement and the
development of native industries. Toward these ends the federal government pursued several
courses of action. It established a national bank to stabilize banking activities in the country
and, in part, to provide a supply of relatively easy money to the frontier, where it was greatly
needed for settlement. It permitted access to public western lands on increasingly easy terms,
culminating in the Homestead Act of 1862, by which title to land could be claimed on the basis
of residence alone. Finally, it set up a system of tariffs that was basically protectionist in effect,
although maneuvering for position by various regional interests produced frequent changes in
tariff rates throughout the nineteenth century.

What we today call American folk art was, indeed, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday
“folks” who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and
especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics — whether
ancient Romans, seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans —
have always shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the
United States contained increasing numbers of such people, and of the artists who could meet
their demands. The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New
England — especially Connecticut and Massachusetts — for this was a wealthy and populous
region and the center of a strong craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the
Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and portrait
painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio,
Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States'
population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to the
original thirteen. During these years the demand for portraits grew and grew eventually to be
satisfied by the camera. In 1839 the daguerreotype was introduced to America, ushering in
the age of photography, and within a generation the new invention put an end to the popularity
of painted portraits. Once again an original portrait became a luxury, commissioned by the
wealthy and executed by the professional.
But in the heyday of portrait painting — from the late eighteenth century until the
1850's — anyone with a modicum of artistic ability could become a limner, as such a portraitist
was called. Local craftspeople — sign, coach, and house painters — began to paint portraits as
a profitable sideline; sometimes a talented man or woman who began by sketching family
members gained a local reputation and was besieged with requests for portraits; artists found
it worth their while to pack their paints, canvases, and brushes and to travel the countryside,
often combining house decorating with portrait painting.
