The correct answer is D) the settlement of unpopulated areas.

<em>The Homestead Act of 1862 was passed to encourage the settlement of unpopulated areas. </em>

This act was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862. The Act supported Western migration to unpopulated territories. The government wanted people to settle in those territories and it provided 160 acres of public land if people paid a filing fee. Another requisite was that the settlers stay in the western lands for five continuous years in order to get their ownership of the land. So yes, The Homestead Act of 1862 was passed to encourage the settlement of unpopulated areas.

Which statement would a Federalist be most likely to agree with?
vova2212 [387]
The correct answer is D) The federal government should be stronger than individual state governments.

Federalists felt strongly about this statement because when the state governments had more power than the federal government under the Articles of Confederation, the country was extremely disorganized. Due to state governments having so much power, there was no national currency, trade was difficult between states, and states were able to ignore federal laws. All of these issues made federalists believe that the federal government should have a stronger role in American society.
