History

Answer:

Never having borne arms against the Unites States' government was a condition of the Homestead Act to prevent those who were unloyal or against the Union from gaining control in new territories.

Explanation:

This condition regarding never having taken up arms, which was attached to the Homestead Act, made it so former Confederate soldiers were unable to benefit from the Homestead Act after the Civil War. The Act was signed in 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln and it was meant to encourage settlement in the Western United States. Beneficiaries had to reside on the property for 5 years before they were granted ownership.

Is structure in society necessary?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the social sciences, social structure is the patterned social arrangements in society that are both emergent from and determinant of the actions of individuals.[1] Likewise, society is believed to be grouped into structurally-related groups or sets of roles, with different functions, meanings, or purposes. Examples of social structure include family, religion, law, economy, and class. It contrasts with "social system", which refers to the parent structure in which these various structures are embedded. Thus, social structures significantly influence larger systems, such as economic systems, legal systems, political systems, cultural systems, etc.
