Answer:

When President Eisenhower left the presidency in 1961, he had accepted the fundamental features of the welfare state.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dwight D. Eisenhower was the 34th President of the United States, from 1953 to 1961. Under his administration, the United States experienced a period of peace and prosperity marked by cooperation between the different parties, in a world then dominated by the Cold War which opposed the country to the USSR. In domestic politics, Eisenhower developed the network of interstate highways, sent the army to Arkansas in order to impose court decisions taken in favor of racial integration, founded NASA and made space racing a priority against the Soviet Union.

He also encouraged technological advances in the field of aviation and atomic energy in order to limit the use of land forces. Although in favor of conservative fiscal policies, Eisenhower expanded the social security program without, however, modernizing the aid programs introduced during the New Deal. Due to this, he was catalogued as a "progressive conservative".
