Cooperative federalism is the governments response to many issues that happened in the past , however , one of the key issues that started this change was the stock market crash of 1929 . This led the country into the Great Depression . The Depression which caused votes to demand a regulation on the stock market as a way to protect themselves from the corruption of capitalism . At the end of World War II , there was more belief in national power and patriotism . Support for the government continued through the cold war and the anti-communism movement in the 1950’s , and is often portrayed as the complacent era . Even in the 1950’s , racism was still a big problem for society , this was called “the racial crisis” . The racial crisis was one of the main reasons cooperative federalisms became coercive . This , however , did not happen overnight , but over many decades . The civil rights movement was not a peaceful protest , like many people thought it was . It was full of violence , chaos , and riots . When the civil rights act of 1965 was signed , the south fought back hard . While many democratic states gave into the reform , others did not . The roots of racism were too deeply ingrained into society and therefore could not understand why the government was forcing them to reform and fought back . It took 20 years to fully reinforce the need for intergovernmental cooperation . The War on Poverty and the Urban Crisis in the 1960’s intensified a need for intergovernmental cooperation . At this point , cooperative federalism was accepted and rationalized into a new system by President Nixon . While , this was happening at a federal level , within the states reformer called for more cooperation between the state and local governments . By the late 1970’s cooperative federalism has come to end due to neglect and an unconcern for the environment . There were major concerns with how the government was managing key issues like pollution and business regulations .
