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>
