A landless settler heading West in the late 1860s would most likely have supported the Homestead Act of 1862. This legislation provided 160 acres of public land for a small fee to any adult citizen or intended citizen who would cultivate the land for five years. It aimed to encourage westward expansion and settlement, making it an attractive opportunity for those seeking land and a new start. The promise of land ownership was a powerful incentive for settlers during this period.
