What were 5 things the homestead act provided?

Social Studies

The Homestead Act of 1862 provided that any adult citizen (or person intending to become a citizen) who headed a family could qualify for a grant of 160 acres of public land by paying a small registration fee and living on the land continuously for five years. If the settler was willing to pay $1.25 an acre, he could obtain the land after only six months’ residence.

But the law did not provide the new beginning for urban slum dwellers that some had hoped; few such families had the resources to start farming, even on free land. The grants did give new opportunities to many impoverished farmers from the East and Midwest, but much of the land granted under the Homestead Act fell quickly into the hands of speculators. Also, over time, the growing mechanization of American agriculture led to the replacement of individual homesteads with a smaller number of much larger farms.

Answer:

exosystem

Explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by Bronfenbrenner's, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this is an example of an exosystem support. This is defined by Brofenbrenner as a child development support that contains environmental elements that have a very deep influence on a child's development, even though the individual child does not interact with these elements in person.

While experiments allow researchers to propose answers to causal questions, in some cases, experiments are not appropriate. The
alex41 [277]

Answer:    It would unethical to conduct some types of experiments on people

Explanation:  Experiment as such serves to test a hypothesis, and based on the results obtained by the experiment confirm it, i.e become a theory. So experiments are needed to prove some of the assumptions, and the results obtained are knowledge that becomes part of the theory, so research is, in fact, a means of acquiring knowledge that is important for the theory.

Of course, knowledge is best if it is obtained by observing some of the phenomena being studied and researched, because empirical experience is the best confirmation of some scientific premise.

And while experiments are appropriate to the limits of humanity, it is inappropriate and unethical to go and subject people to experiments beyond that limit for research. Imagine testing a virus that is not sufficiently researched, and an experiment is conducted on people how they will tolerate it. First of all, this is not humane, it is not ethical, and it is not safe for these people, since it is still an unknown and untested virus.

What are some Facts about the Texas Annexation ?
zheka24 [161]

Answer: The Texas annexation was the 1845 annexation of the Republic of Texas into the United States of America, which was admitted to the Union as the 28th state on December 29, 1845. The Republic of Texas declared independence from the Republic of Mexico on March 2, 1836. It applied for annexation to the United States the same year, but was rejected by the Secretary of State. At the time the vast majority of the Texian population favored the annexation of the Republic by the United States. The leadership of both major U.S. political parties, the Democrats and the Whigs, opposed the introduction of Texas, a vast slave-holding region, into the volatile political climate of the pro- and anti-slavery sectional controversies in Congress. Moreover, they wished to avoid a war with Mexico, whose government refused to acknowledge the sovereignty of its rebellious northern province. With Texas's economic fortunes declining by the early 1840s, the President of the Texas Republic, Sam Houston, arranged talks with Mexico to explore the possibility of securing official recognition of independence, with the United Kingdom mediating.

Explanation: Hope this helped it took a long time to type!
