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 the Black Death effect Catholics
emmasim [6.3K]

Before the Black Death hit Europe, almost all things, especially elements of daily life, were under the influence of the church. In medieval times, even boiling an egg took “the time to say a prayer”. But the most important thing was that the church had always told people right from wrong. Since the afterlife was judged more important than the actual lifetime, it was considered essential to be given the last rites and to confess sins before dieing to be sure of salvation.

When the plague arrived, people believed it to be a punishment of God. Therefore, they often turned to the Church for help. But since the priests and bishops could not actually offer a cure or even an explanation, the Catholic Church lost a lot of its influence and for many people, their view of the world changed drastically.
