I followed with Daniel Freeman to go through all the process of land reform.
In the early time, there were no assured rules to divide the land. After the final standard to distribute the land was published: The Land Ordinance of 1785. The government sold a full section of land: 640 acres with the price of per acre is $1. In 1800, the price decreased to $1.25 per acre. But it can be sold a half and allowed the payments in four phases. This situation was until to 1854.During the war between American and Mexico (1846–48), people supplied that got land first and paid later. Later, there were a lot of problems which held up the establishment of the homesteading laws until to 1862.
On May 20, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln singed a new law. Daniel Freeman grabbed this chance to draft a land claim with some officials on the New Year’s Eve in 1863.
Finally, in 1862, the Homestead Act was passed and signed into a new law.Every American citizens can get his own homeland by three steps.
What were the steps? I don;t understand some of this, and it seems you stopped writing about where the story should have started.
