Where did the homestead act encourage freed african americans to settle?

The Homestead Act encouraged freed African Americans to settle in the Great Plains.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act was an American federal law created by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862.

To attract immigrants, the US federal government enacted the Homestead Act in 1862, which defined ownership of a 160-hectare estate for whoever that cultivated it for five years. This law greatly increased the flow of European immigrants to the United States. At the time, Europe went through unification wars (German, Italian, etc ...) and many inhabitants suffered from hunger, fear and poverty. Since these were repulsive factors, the United States created the "Homestead Act" and spread it across Europe with simple pamphlets, which were attractive and showed the banal price of land (about $4 per 160 hectares). This then became an attractive factor for European immigrants trying to start a life in the USA.

The conquest of the West - began with the purchase of Louisiana in 1804 and ended with the purchase of Alaska in 1867 - coincided with the period of industrialization in the U.S.  

This law contributed decisively to the American dream and until the twentieth century about 600,000 farmers had colonized 80 million acres of land.

In addition, this law didn't put any restriction about African Americans from obtaining this lands, so a great number of former slaves also acquired land in the Great Plains.
