Manifest Destiny, Indian Removal Acts, and the Homestead Act were all ideas and policies that justified westward expansion.
The Homestead Act of 1862 did not directly cause a war, but it contributed to tensions and conflicts over land and resources in the American West. The act aimed to encourage westward expansion by providing settlers with land, which often led to disputes with Native American tribes and other settlers. These conflicts included violent confrontations, but they were part of a broader context of westward expansion rather than a specific war initiated by the act itself.
The Homestead Act of 1862.
The Homestead Act of 1862 was a significant piece of legislation in the United States that aimed to encourage westward expansion by granting 160 acres of public land to settlers for a small fee, provided they improved the land by building a dwelling and cultivating crops. This act facilitated the settlement of the American frontier, allowing many families to acquire land and establish farms. However, it also had profound implications for Indigenous peoples and the environment, often leading to displacement and ecological disruption. Overall, the Homestead Act symbolized both opportunity and conflict in America's westward expansion.

Look in the westward expansion after the civil war mini textbook.
The California Gold Rush was a major factor in expansion west of the Mississippi. That westward expansion was greatly aided by the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869, and passage of the Homestead Act in 1862.
