Answer:

The act made it possible for farmers to work for their own benefit.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that are included with this question:

The act made it possible for farmers to work for their own benefit.
The act made it possible for immigrants to become US citizens.
The act made it possible for people over twenty-one to start their own business.
The act made it possible for foreigners to come to the United States.

One of the advantages of the Homestead Act was the fact that it allowed farmers to work for their own benefit. Before this Act, farmers with little money could not expect to own their own land. Instead, they had to work the land of others. After the passage of this law, farmers were able to work their own land for their own profit, which gave them a level of independence and stability that had not been possible in the past.

lubasha [3.4K]

According to Wheeler the Spains actions in Cuba were already leading to war between Spain and the US. The sinking of the Maine was the final straw that decided the congress to vote for war. But war would have come without the sinking of the Maine.
