<u>Answer:</u>
the significance of Greenwood being nicknamed “The Black Wall Street” as B) it signified the financial success of the area
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the early 20th century, the present-day Greenwood Avenue was known as the Black Wall Street for its thriving economy, wholly propelled by the African American community. Under the Dawes Act, 1887 many African-Americans who were former slaves of tribes acquired land in this area. Others migrated to this area, which was now considered a haven for the black community, to escape racial oppression.
OW Gurley and JB Stradford are mainly credited to kick start the economic development of this place. Schools, hotels, furriers, posh restaurants, a library and other establishments of prosperity marked the streets of Greenwood.
New businesses cropped up with assistance from the affluent black community. This ensured that the money so created circulated first within the community. This made Greenwood entirely self-contained, reliant and an economic powerhouse and thus the name- Black Wall Street.

Answer:
The correct answer is D. It allowed the government to offer pioneers sixty acres of western land if they lived on it and made improvements to it.
Explanation:
The homestead act was necessary in the government's vision of Manifest Destiny and to expand the country westwards into new territory
As most of the country's wealth and population was in the north-east, it was difficult to promote the newly acquired territories for people to settle in. Without any settlers, there would be no economic activity in the region. Without economic activity, the regions would not provide any significant benefit.
Hence, the Homestead Act gave any American citizen the right to 160 Acres of land to farm and after 5 years, they would own the land. Unfortunately, the act did not bring in the development the government was hoping for as most of this new land make in the hands of Property Speculators.
However, that was not the initial intention which is why option C is wrong.
