Answer: The Homestead Act offered 160 acre farm plots for almost no cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Homestead Act was signed as a law in 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln. This Act provided a fair land distribution, so that average citizens were able to afford to buy a piece of land and use it as a family plot. This opportunity pulled settlers to the plains.
