Answer:

Five years

Step-by-step explanation:

The Homestead Act was created by Abraham Lincoln with the deal to attract immigrants to the United States, and allow them to settle in an estate for five years. This period of time was important to make the immigrant family feel part of the country, understand the laws and how to deal with them, and get ready to be part of the American society.
