Not necessarily. There seems to have been a pivot from the Progressive Era on toward trusting government as a problem-solver.

Think antitrust laws, labor protections, and the State stepping in when markets and individuals supposedly "fail".

It's not clear that history books are emphasizeing the skepticism toward centralized government, rooted in the American Revolution's origins.

The State appears to have positioned itself as a savior of the people, irrespective of any real world results to the contrary.

How'd it manage that, if not through a reimagining in the textbooks of American history through the lense of a statist?
