Answer:

a. The act allowed people to develop those resources.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act was passed in 1862 during the Civil War in order to facilitate westward settling and expansion. It allowed citizens to have free land to the west as long as they agreed to settle on it and cultivate crops. It was a surprisingly well-thought-out move on the government's part!

A is correct because the natural resources mentioned in the question are America's fertile land to the west; settlers did not invest money, identify, or locate that land. They knew it was there, they just had to go settle on it and plant crops.

How did the Spanish hope to get rich from the forced labor
CaHeK987 [17]

The Spanish hoped to get rich from forced labor by using native citizens in the Americas to keep the Spanish colonies running. The used the system of encomiendas to achieve this aim during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

<h3>Spanish encomienda System and the Columbian Exchange</h3>

The Spanish encomienda system is a  labor system that was used to reward conquered non-christian people. These were provided and promised certain benefits by the conquerors for whom they labored, which includes military protection and education.

Another factor that was used by the Spanish to get rich was the columbian exchange.

    As Europeans moved over to the Americas, they brought with them plants, animals, and diseases that changed lives and landscapes of the Native population. They also took high calorific agricultural crops such as potatoes and disease such as syphilis to Europe.

These two-way exchanges between the Americas and Europe are known collectively as the Columbian Exchange.
