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>

Hi! I'll write the first paragraph for you:

The top four causes of the depression:

The Great Depression was caused by many different reasons. The first reason is that there were high demands for consumer goods and agricultural products, and that led to overpopulation. The second reason was that buying on credit increased personal debt. Another cause of the Great Depression was that buying on a margin was a risky market practice--Bank loands for stock purchases was an unsound practice. (Not valid). Finally, The Smoot-Hawley Tarriff created trade war worsened world economic conditions. Huge increases in taxes hurt companies and individuals.
