Who could claim land thanks to the Homestead Act?
Single women, separated women, and widows
Formerly enslaved people
Young boys
Union soldiers
Answer explanation
All of the above! In order to be eligible for this free land, people had to be 21 years old and the head of the household. Or they could have served during the Civil War in the Union Army for at least two weeks.
Boys as young as 8 to 10 years old could legally
homestead if they had served as buglers or drummer boys. After the Civil War, former slaves
became citizens. They were then able to homestead. About one in 20 homesteaders was an African American.
Single women, widows and “deserted women” could also homestead.
Later, Native Americans could homestead, although few did so. They had been forced from their original lands by the U.S. government.
