Pit Bulls have been in the Unites States since the Mid 1800's. Why was there no hysteria about them back in 1890?

Colbys Twister 1903

John Colby is the first breeder to sell Pitbulls to the general public. The blood of Colby dogs is in almost every pure breed Pitbull today.

There was also a Colby testing/ breeding/selling bulldogs in the Sacrament area early 1900's.
Worst thing that happened to the breed was becoming popular, especially among the degenerate segments of society.

Charlie Lloyd with champion Pilot 1878. Pilot was imported from Walsall England to America. Cockney Charlie had been importing dogs from England to America since as early as 1854.

English Staffordshire Terrier?

Yes. All American Pitbull Terriers are direct descendants of the English Staffordshire Bull Terriers. This is how they came to be. When Pilot lands on America's shore he became an American Pit Bull Terrier and all his offspring are American Pit Bull Terriers.

All of John Colby's dogs are based off of Staffordshire Bull Terriers that were Imported from Ireland and the Irish dogs were just imported from Staffordshire England.

Colby's Galtie was imported from Ireland

Bull and bear baiting were popular in England up until 1835 when they were outlawed. A Bill for the suppression of the practice was introduced in 1802, but was defeated due to it's popularity.

After 1835, dog fighting became more popular in England leading to the development of the English Bull terrier and the Staffordshire Bull terrier, which at one time were the same breed, but over time developed into separate breeds.

Charlie Lloyd's champion Pilot was one of these Staffordshire Bull terriers that was brought over from England to become the American Pitbull terrier. Many other immigrants from Ireland and England brought their Stafforshire Bull terriers as well.

Bull and Bear Baiting arenas shown on the "woodcut" map of London of c.1561 (the dogs are shown coming out of pens to each side),
Note the old English spelling of bull and bear baiting in this carving - "bolle bayting" and "beare bayting".
