(1 point)
increased encroachment of white settlers onto american indian lands
forced labor in the mines
the movement of american indians to eastern cities
violence against american indians
required work on ranches

Explanation:

The Homestead Act encouraged white - settlers to move west. This led to increased encroachment on American Indian lands as settlers claimed land. Also, some American Indians were required to work on ranches due to the changing economic and social landscape brought about by the influx of settlers. Forced labor in mines was not a direct effect of the Homestead Act. The movement of American Indians to eastern cities was not a major effect of this act. Violence against American Indians was more a general result of westward expansion rather than a direct result of just the Homestead Act.

Answer:

1. Increased encroachment of white settlers onto American Indian lands
2. required work on ranches
