The Homestead Act was a series of laws that were passed that allowed individuals and families to acquire federal land easily at little to no cost. This created an economic incentive for individuals to move Westward or to inhabit "empty" federal lands that had not been bought or were uncontrolled by other individuals. The goal was to create "homesteads" in uninhabited lands so that the lands would be populated by families and individuals.

Answer:The Homestead Act of 1862 was an act that took effect on January 1863 which granted 160 acres of public land to anyone that paid a small fee and agreed to work on the land and improve it on 5 years.

This Act helped the westward expansion because many people moved west and were able to buy land for cheap prices and build a home and live from the land.

What were the reasons for supporting and opposing the first bank of the United states​
Murljashka [212]

I believe it was because the republicans did not want a large government and having a National Bank (I'm not sure if this is the bank you are talking about) would make the government even larger and they felt that it would take the power from the people.

Mark me brainliest if this is the correct answer and helps you! Good Luck! :)
