The Homestead Act helped give Americans a fresh start to the Americans.They were able to have land and live on 160 acres of land but the only downside was that you had to be 21, you had to build your own house, and then you had to live on that land for up to five years, which many people didn't want to do but HAD to. In my opinion the Homestead Act was okayyyy.
