What was one provision of the homestead act of 1862?

The Homestead Act was legislation signed by the American President Abraham Lincoln in order to accelerate the western territory settlement (the Great Plains) lying west of the Mississippi River and east of the Rocky Mountains in the U.S. and Canada.

One of its provision enabled adult men citizens, including black men, who had never borne arms against the U.S. government, to acquire 160 acres of the Great Plains, with the condition to pay a minimal filing fee and to improve the plot while living there for 5 years at least. After those 5 years of residence, the person could be entitled to the property.

answer: secession

secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the american civil war, comprises the series of events that began on december 20, 1860, and extended through june 8 of the next year when eleven states in the lower and upper south severed their ties with the union. the first seven seceding states of the lower south set up a provisional government at montgomery, alabama. after hostilities began at fort sumter in charleston harbor on april 12, 1861, the border states of virginia, arkansas, tennessee, and north carolina joined the new government, which then moved its capital to richmond, virginia. the union was thus divided approximately on geographic lines. twenty-one northern and border states retained the style and title of the united states, while the eleven slave states adopted the nomenclature of the confederate states of america.
