The government, under the provisions of the _____________ of 1862, had opened up the Great Plains by conferring the title to 160 acres of land for those that settled and improved it for five years.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks about a 1862 statute that offered 160 acres to settlers who would live on and improve the land for five years. 
Option 1: Freedom Bill. This does not correspond to a known 1862 land-distribution policy and is not associated with opening the Great Plains to settlement. It reads more like a generic or fictional label rather than a historical land act. 
Option 2: Thirteenth Amendment. While the Thirteenth Amendment (ratified 1865) abolished slavery, it has nothing to do with land grants or settlement incentives in the Great Plains. It addresses constitutional change rather than homesteading policies. 
Option 3: Homestead Act. This is the well-known federal policy enacted in 1862 that granted 160 acres to settlers who would occupy, improve, and reside on the land for a specified period (typically five years). It directly matches the description given in the question. 
Option 4: Deere Act. There is no widely recognized 1862 policy by this name related to land settlement or acreage grants; it appears to be a mistaken or fictional label rather than a real statute. 
Overall, the statement aligns with the provisions of the policy designed to encourage western expansion by providing land to those who settled and improved it, and not with the other listed items, which either address different issues or are inaccurately titled.

The government, under the provisions of the _____________ of 1862, had opened up the Great Plains by conferring the title to 160 acres of land for those that settled and improved it for five years.
