Question

4 of 10
which of the following acts encouraged settlers to move west and provided free acreage to those who made the journey?
○ weeks act
○ manifest destiny act
○ homestead act

Explanation:

The Homestead Act of 1862 in the US encouraged west - ward settlement by offering 160 acres of public land for free to settlers who would improve and live on it for five years. There is no "Weeks act" or "Manifest destiny act" in this context, and the Organic Act is not related to free acreage for west - ward settlers.
