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.

Akimi4 [234]

The correct answer is A) Africa.

By 1500, Africa supplied almost half the gold in Europe.

In the 1500s, gold was an abundant precious rock in West Africa. Indeed, there were many gold deposits that for the African tribes was nos considered very valuable...until the Europeans arrived and realize how much gold there was. Africans used to trade gold for salt because salt was much need for the conservation of food. European colonies were the ones that took much of the gold from the African colonies to sent it to their European monarchies.

Which fact provides the BEST evidence to support the conclusion that the most important successes of Jimmy Carter's presidency w
AveGali [126]

The answer to choose:  A) Carter was instrumental in negotiating the Camp David Accords, which directly led to the 1979 Egypt-Israeli Peace Treaty.

Details:

Thanks to the persistent efforts of President Carter in working with Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, those two leaers signed the Camp David Accords in September, 1978.   That led to the 1979 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel that has lasted to the present day.  Sadat and Begin were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978 for their efforts in reaching the agreement that they made.

As to the other answers:  

The fact that Carter allowed the deposed shah of Iran to come into the USA for medical treatment did provoke the hostage seizure in Tehran.  However, that was not a major <u>success</u> of Carter's foreign policy, but a major mistake. (His advisors had tried to tell him in advance that letting the shah come into the US was a bad idea.)

Similarly, the increase of tensions with the Soviet Union over the Olympics would not be an example of a success.

The federal law regarding cleaning up hazardous waste would be a success item, but one of <u>domestic</u> policy, not foreign policy.
