Answer:

Settlers were given land and, in return, were expected to farm and build on it.

Explanation:

The Headright System was a land granting system designed to attract settlers to the colonies. A piece of land was offered “headlights” to settlers who would work on the land. The first to offer headlights was the Virginia Company and it was an interesting system because it allowed poor people to move to the new world and have their land when they did not have been able to afford it. Most of the headright lands would become tobacco farms with 50 acres.

In 1905, the fateful meeting took place. Rasputin requested—and was granted— an audience with the Romanov family at Peterhof, where he presented them with a hand-painted wooden icon of Saint Simeon, a venerated Siberian saint dear to Rasputin’s own heart. He soon became a trusted advisor and confidante to Emperor Nicholas II and Tsaritsa Alexandra Feodorovna; Alexandra in particular was convinced that the “staretz” was a gift to her from God Almighty, sent to ease her passage through life as the “Little Mother of Russia,” and especially to preserve the precious life of her only son, the Heir, Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich.
