Answer:

The correct answer is option a) it gave 160 acres of land to any person that wanted it and met certain requirements.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act of 1862 was signed by president Abraham Lincoln and was aimed at expanding North America into the western region. It allowed any US citizen, including freed slaves, to claim up to 160 acres of land for a very low fee. In order to grant these lands, the <em>Native Americans</em> that lived there were sent to very confined areas called <em>"reservations"</em>. The requirements included <em>living five continuous years</em> in the land granted and farming it. Also, to be the head of a homestead they needed to be <em>21 years old. </em>

How did grant's peace policy fail to consider the needs of native americans in the west, and what were its results? quizzlet?
Korvikt [17]

<u>Grant's peace policy led to the Battle of Little Bighorn. </u>

Grant's policy had a total disregard for the Indians' freedom, culture and way of life. President Grant's policy failed to consider the needs of Native Americans by placing them in reservations where missionaries would teach them how to be "civilized", how to farm, to wear European clothing, and to adopt Christianity as their religion. If there was any opposition by Indians, soldiers would force them off of tribal lands. As a result, the Battle of the Little Bighorn took place when tribal armies refused to stay off of their land and waged a war against the whites.
