In the early 1800s, few people lived on the Great Plains. The Great Plains are in the middle of the United States. People did not think the land was good for farming. It was very dry and flat.

In 1862, the Homestead Act was passed. The government helped people to settle on the Great Plains. The government sold adults 160 acres of land for a small amount of money. If they could farm the land for five years, they could own it. A settler’s home and land was called a homestead. Many homesteaders came from the eastern United States, where farmland cost a lot. In the Great Plains, land was cheaper. Settlers also came from Europe, where there was not much land to buy. There was a lot of land to buy in the Great Plains. African Americans also wanted to start farms. Many African Americans were poor. They faced prejudice and violence after the Civil War. They started their own towns in Kansas.

Why would developing the natural resources in Serbia be difficult ?

ANEK [815]

Serbia is lacking in the development of natural resources because of low grades of mining and non-favorable political scenarios.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Development of Natural Resources in Serbia</u>

One of the important habitats of natural resources, Serbia is situated in the Southeastern Europe in the mid of Hungary and Macedonia. Being a land of vivacious minerals, Serbia also shows different weather conditions from continental to Mediterranean.

Although Serbia is wealthy with the natural resources of coal, iron ore, oil, gas, gold, silver, copper, zinc, antimony, magnesium, limestone, and marble, yet it failed to develop as an important sources of such resources because it's fluctuating economical states and small mining sectors that can hardly supply the demand.

But, the good news is that Serbia is rapidly recovering from its economical drop due to the Civil War and hopefully it may groom as the heart of natural resources in Europe in the coming years.
