2 pts
which source would provide the most credible information about the daily life of factory workers during the 1880s?
a journal written by an employee at a factory
a novel written to encourage factory regulation
a pamphlet written by a group opposing unions
a flyer written by a business owner

Explanation:

1. The Homestead Act of 1862 offered 160 - acre plots of public land to settlers who would improve and live on the land for five years, which encouraged settlement in the West in the late 1800s. The Federal Land Management Act is a later - era act related to land management, not settlement promotion in the 1800s. The Pendleton Act was about civil - service reform. The Northwest Ordinance was from 1787 and dealt with the governance of the Northwest Territory, not Western settlement in the late 1800s.
2. A journal written by an employee at a factory would provide first - hand, direct information about daily life. A novel written to encourage factory regulation may be fictionalized. A pamphlet by a group opposing unions and a flyer by a business owner may be biased.

Answer:

1. B. Homestead Act
2. A. a journal written by an employee at a factory
