Answer:

The Homestead Act of 1862 was a law established and signed by President Abraham Lincoln, that sought to encourage new settlement by Americans towards the West.

Its main purpose was to invite new settlers into the new territories of the West, and to do this, what the Act did was to promise 160 acres of public land for settlers for a very small filling fee and for 5 years of continuous settlement. At the end of the five years, these settlers could become owners of the land by paying the government only 1.25 dollars per acre. This Act was successful enough that by 1900, around 80 million acres of new land had been distributed among the new settlers.

So instead of getting a high wage, the workers trapped in huge debt to the company, creating some sort of slavery that they have to work to pay off their debt to the company
