Actually there was government aid 100 years ago. The people receiving it were called paupers.

It's hard to find any documentation on social programs in the US before the 1930's. Whatever there was, it was nothing compared to what we have today.

From what I saw it was 7.9 per 1000 or 0.79%. In addition to this there was a lot of stigma attached to being a pauper.
