History

Lelu [443]2 years ago

The Homestead Act was enacted to help reduce poverty and reward persons who did fight on the side of the Confederacy during the Civil War while furthering western expansion. 

It was open to any citizen or person wanting to become a citizen that did not fight against the government in the war. 

For this act, gender did not matter as long as the person was head of a household or at least 21 years old. 

They had to reside on the property for 5 years while improving it, such as clearing it, farming it and putting a proper home on it. They would receive the title at that time once they paid a registration fee. Another way for them to receive the title faster was if they lived on it for 6 months, with minor improvements and paid $1.25 per acre. 

There was a lot more to it than that though. The individual had to sign agreements saying they never fought against the United States government, they couldn't owe debt, they had to be able to afford to clear, farm and build on the land for those five years. They then had to find people to sign acknowledgements that those improvements were actually done and the land wasn't abandoned.

____________________________________________________

Answer:

Your answer would be "an enemy."

____________________________________________________

By the end of 1936, the supreme court had proven itself an enemy of Roosevelt's new deal.

____________________________________________________

Roosevelt's new deal:

Roosevelt's new deal was an Economic program consisting of  programs, regulations, financial reforms, and public workshops made by President Roosevelt to give relief to the citizens because of the Great Depression.

____________________________________________________

Explanation:

The reason why "an enemy" would be your answer is because the Supreme Court was against what President Roosevelt was doing. They believed that what President Roosevelt was doing was giving the powers that the federal government had and giving them to the state governments. They didn't like this because the wanted to federal government to have more power than the state governments, but President Roosevelt was trying to do otherwise. The federal government said that this was unconstitutional, and that president Roosevelt was being unconstitutional. They criticized President Roosevelt a lot for "not helping the poor" enough. They said that the New Deal was just another way of saying "Share our wealth." They didn't want to share their wealth with others, they wanted to keep the wealth to themselves. Roosevelt wanted to avoid confrontation with the Supreme Court, but he couldn't do that. He just had to stick to his plan on making the country back together again after a huge tragedy that changed the whole nation. This showed that the Supreme Court was against the new deal, and was the enemy.
