The early 20th century saw an unprecedented level of acceptance for Eugenics in the United States. From state and local fairs to laws governing marriage and entry into the country, eugenic ideas were promulgated by societies and organizations championing the cause. It was not until the late 1930s and the rise of cultural determinism and Nazism that many of these ideas fell out of favor. This page will attempt to highlight the history, ideas, and actions of a few of these Eugenic societies.
