Congress passed it to encourage people to move and settle west. they promised free land, and they knew that people would rush to claim it. The 1862 Homestead Act accelerated settlement of U.S. western territory by allowing any American, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal land.
Wait hannah in 13 reasons why??? ok:
You should focus on the positives instead of negatives, because there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Be around those who love you, because they are the people who you can trust, and they will never leave you. Finally, get to know yourself, and be aware of what you are doing. Stay true to what your values are.
