a. on the east coast.
b. on the west coast.
c. in the great plains.
d. throughout the south.

The correct answer is C. The 1862 Homestead Act provided allotments of land in the Great Plains.

The Homestead Act was a law created by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862. Large contingents of immigrants from Europe participated in the occupation of the vast west of the United States and without them this achievement would not take place. To attract immigrants, the US government decreed in 1862 the Homestead Act, which defined the ownership of a property of 65 hectares to those who cultivated it for five years. Anyone who had never taken up arms against the United States, including freed slaves, could file a claim for a federal land grant. This law greatly increased the flow of European immigrants to the United States.
