Answer:

In a July 4, 1861 speech, Lincoln told the nation the purpose of America’s government was "to elevate the condition of men, to lift artificial burdens from all shoulders and to give everyone an unfettered start and a fair chance in the race of life." He followed through with the passage of the Homestead Act, which remained active for 124 years until it was repealed in 1976, and resulted in 10 percent of U.S. land—or 270 million acres—to be claimed and settled.

The incentive to move and settled on western territory was open to all U.S. citizens, or intended citizens, and resulted in 4 million homestead claims, although 1.6 million deeds in 30 states were actually officially obtained. Montana, followed by North Dakota, Colorado and Nebraska had the most successful claims. Native Americans were forced from their lands and onto reservations to make way for homesteaders.

During a speech made in Ohio in February 1861, Lincoln said the act was “worthy of consideration, and that the wild lands of the country should be distributed so that every man should have the means and opportunity of benefiting his condition."

12. Why did the southern cotton industry have a hard time recovering after the Civil War?
expeople1 [14]
<span>The correct answer is letter A. Foreign competitions drove the price of cotton down. Due to Abraham Lincoln’s Union Blockade, the South was not able to market their millions of bales of cotton. He had the precautionary measure that Europe would intervene with the export of cotton, but they did not. As a result, cotton production increased in other parts of the world (e.g. India and Egypt) making America lose its monopoly in the cotton industry. </span>
