Answer:

Congress passed the Homestead Act of 1862 , which provided free and cheap land out west, and it was most responsible for the rapid settlement of the Great Plains.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act was a law of the United States of America, signed by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862. It allowed each family who could prove that they had occupied land for 5 years to claim private property, up to a limit of 160 acres (65 hectares). If the family had lived there for at least 6 months, they could also immediately buy the land at a relatively low price of $1.25 per acre.

This law played a prominent role in the conquest of the American West, as it encouraged millions of Europeans to emigrate to the United States. and contributed to the importance of the concept of private property in the American mentality.

How does Krishna describe the good society?
Tems11 [23]
 KRISHNA<span>
Dearmost friend of great Yudhisthira, heir to the throne, 
life and soul of Arjuna his brother besides, 
nevertheless Krishna was playing a role of His own – 
somehow still kept connections with kings on both sides.</span><span>His promise was thus: to abstain from the fight, 
to forego use of weapons, restraining His might, 
instead offering each cousin His presence alone, 
OR His army without Him; each make his choice known!</span><span>Wasn’t hard to predict Durydhana’s choice. 
Quintessential materialist, greedy for gain, 
he grabbed Krishna’s army and gloated (in vain). 
But Arjuna and Yudhisthira loved Krishna pure, 
could not live life without Him no matter the price, 
saw Him greater than armies, and chose Him for sure.</span><span>Only love without motive can conquer His heart. 
This mysterious Krishna, Whom nobody knows, 
called Arjuna His friend, and to relish the part, 
He forgot royal codes; lowly service He chose.</span><span>Though His prowess with weapons was known far and wide –
in fact He controls how the atoms collide – 
all He wanted to hold in His lotus-like hands 
were the reins of the chariot Arjuna commands.</span><span>
