<span>The Homestead Act of 1862 was passed by Congress under President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. This law allowed citizens or intended citizens of the US that had not fought against the US Government to claim 160 acres of public land for a minimal fee, provided that they live there and improve the land by cultivating it. This law brought many settlers into the west because it freed up millions of acres of lands for people to use for a very small price.</span>

Jobisdone [24]

Answer: Right after the Civil War, the most popular pastime for American people was sports; mainly baseball. Although at first, it was only meant for rich people, the opening of publick gymnasiums, courts and fields allowed the working and middle class to also do sports. Other activities included reading newspapers and books, visiting museums, amusement parks and vaudeville shows such as the "Wild West shows".

Compared to popular activities today, there is some resemblance with the post-Civil War era, like reading, doing sports, etc... although nowadays vaudeville shows don´t exist anymore. Other important pastimes nowadays are playing videogames or watching movies, which didn´t exist in the 1800´s.
