This is part of a project i am doing but i came along the answer and i thought i would answer it:
In the 1800's the blind were seen as useless people who had nothing they could contribute to the community. Sometimes people would even go as far as to not think of them as humans. It was believed that they constantly needed a properly trained caretaker at all times. Also many of them were put in homes for the mentally disabled. This, as we know, is not where they belong, because they are able to think, and can be very smart. People assumed because they were different from the average human that they could not function like them. This, as we know, is not true, and was a very bad stereotype that, luckily, is pretty much gone. Some of the Blind were treated well, and given an education, but the numbers were very small.

Eugenics movements also promoted forced sterilization and institutionalization of individuals with mental disabilities.

Using the base population of 6,800, this would be 3,754 blind adults employed in South Dakota in 2012.The total of all non-institutionalized, male or female, all ages, all races, regardless of ethnicity, with all education levels in South Dakota reported to have a visual disability in 2012 is 14,600.
