B. The U.S. government asked African Americans move to Kansas.

C. Kansas' government paid African Americans to settle the area.

D. Land in Kansas was cheaper than many other places in the U.S.

Answer 1

I would say D. Although Kansas was a Free State for African Americans and life would be easier and cheaper for them, I don’t see that as an option. All the others just don’t make plain sense.
