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:
Green Party or Democratic Party; it depends.
Explanation:
The Green Party absolutely is "liberal" and are progressives. Jill Stein was a progressive candidate much like Bernard Sanders, and she ran in the 2016 election under the green party ticket.
The Democratic Party has largely fallen from grace. It has become centrist, more right leaning, and corporatist. You can say it's liberal, but that would mostly be factually inaccurate
Third Party doesn't necessarily mean liberal because it is a term for a party that is not Democrat or Republican. The Libertarian Party, Green Party, and Tea Party are all third party organizations
The Republican Party is an obvious one.
1. Humongous
2. Large
3. Huge
The only one with some similarities that I can recall at the time is China. Sorry if that’s wrong.
