Answer: G. Congress passed a law allowing people to claim public land and convert it to private property through homesteading.
Explanation:
The Homestead Act of 1862 by President Lincoln, allowed people to claim up to 160 acres of public land for a small fee and convert it to private property through homesteading provided they stay on the land and take care of it for 5 years.
President Lincoln said the Act was necessary as it would give every American the resources needed to better their lives and such was its popularity that it in force for 124 years until it was repealed in 1976.
Following the passing of the Act, a lot of people sought to take advantage of it and moved to new areas in the Great Plains to set up homesteads which led to the rapid settlement that occurred there.

A fire and brimstone preacher, Jonathan Edwards was a stalwart Puritan and much of his Calvinist background is apparent in the frightening imagery of his sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." In fact, the image of the bottomless pit of hell whose fiery floods wax high enough to burn the gossamer thread that holds the unworthy souls over it evoked so much terror in the congregation of Edwards that women fainted and men became terrorized and trembled.
This sermon of Edwards is constructed around a passage from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible: "Their foot shall slide in due time." Using the metaphor of a slippery slide, Edwards, at a revival where his famous sermon was given, points to the dangers of spiritual sliding. The yawning abyss waits for the sinners, whose wickedness makes them "heavy as lead," and only the "mere pleasure" of God keeps them from burning in the images of "fiery floods" and "fire of wrath." The image of a "bow" for God's wrath that can easily bend and send forth its arrow is an unnerving one, indeed, as the "slender thread" dangling near the "flames of divine wrath" which can singe it at any moment.
Racial inequality being aversive to American principles was the point of Paul Robeson when he attested before the HUAC.
