Description:
This Act was an act passed by congress which granted lands in the great plains to Americans for free who had lived on the land and had proof of this for 5 or more years. The act only gave up 160 acres per family however, and the act failed due to this amount not being enough in the great plains.Ajouté au bande de temps:
