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.

Analyze the map below and answer the question that follows. A map of population density in the U S and Canada. The darker shaded

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The population is not distributed uniformly throughout Canada's territory. The vast majority of people who make up the population of Canada live in the southern part of the country, near the American border, leaving the northern areas largely uninhabited.

Explanation: (p.s here is something extra you can add if you want)

Distribution of the population in the world is very uneven because the distribution of population depends upon many physical factors such as relief, climate, availability of water supply, soil, etc. - For example, if you consider the relief factors, mountains and hilly areas are thinly populated.
