Answer:

The speculators took advantage of the Homestead Act  committing fraud and making false claims to get most of the lands.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act was signed in 1862 and it gave US citizens the opportunity to have access to 160 acre plots of government land for a small fee. The goal of this was to improve the living conditions of people. However, speculators took advantage of the act and with false claims they got most of the lands. Also, many people who got the land came from other areas, for example, people in Iowa went to Nebraska.

What exactly was and is the kkk?
Hatshy [7]
<h2>The KKK was a racist group of people, mostly men. They believed in nationalism, of sorts. They thought that the blacks were disgusting, so they needed to pay with either death or torture. This is the reason most people think southern people are racist nowadays. The KKK was derived from the Greek word kyklos, meaning “circle,” and the Scottish-Gaelic word “clan,” which was probably chosen for the sake of alliteration.</h2>
