No, that was never the old pattern. Nationwide injunctions were unheard of until very recently -- as in, within the past 10-20 years.

Nationwide injunctions are a very recent legal innovation -- as in, extremely rare until the 2000s, and uncommon until the 2010s.

They were not how this situation was handled for nearly all of the existence of the United States.
