The Tenth Amendment prohibits the federal government from exercising any power not delegated to it by the States in the Constitution; as a result, states handle the majority of issues most relevant to individuals within their jurisdiction. ... Each state has its own written constitution, government and code of laws.
Early years were marked by death and disaster. A lot of people died of famine because there was no food and the land could not be cultivated, and there were also attacks by animals or diseases. A vast majority of initial settlers died and only the few survived to bring the town up with the help of locals.
The Homestead Act was a legislative provision of the United States according to which 160 acres (65 hectares) of state land were assigned to those who requested it in the wilds outside the borders of the thirteen original colonies. The new law provided for three phases: an assignment request, the commitment to work the assigned land and obtaining the title of property. Those who had never fought against the US government and, among them, freed slaves, could apply for assignment to a local local office.
As a result of it, the population grew in the territories, due to the immigration to those areas, and cattle ranching industry grew as the new settlers were commited to work the assigned lands.
