Answer:

The Homestead Act was intended to allow those who did not fight agaist the Union the opportunity to develope land, build a home on it and start over. Those that served for the Union Army were granted land at a lower rate. This helped to develop areas that were not developed, rebuild the South and give slaves a chanve at owning land

Explanation:

The Homestead Act, enacted during the Civil War in 1862, provided that any adult citizen, or intended citizen, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government could claim 160 acres of surveyed government land. Claimants were required to “improve” the plot by building a dwelling and cultivating the land.

Yes there were a lot of shifts in the attitude why? well we know that the Renaissance times had a lot to do with drawings learning and just opening up the world a lot more.
