Explanation:

The Great plains is one of the best farmlands in the world, accounting for a great percentage of wheat export in the world. The Great plains saw high level of settlement after the homestead act and Morrill act of 1862 where the newly acquired western territory of America allowed acquisition of land westward. As a result thousands of Americans, including newly freed slaves were allowed to acquire up-to 160 acres of land in this area and settle. This was where the Great Plains was located. The Morrill act also allowed western states acquire land here to build schools and develop the area.
