Why head west?

Push  Factors that PUSHED people West Economy Slavery Land Opportunity Law Over population

Pull  Factors that PULLED people West Homestead Act Morrill Act Open Range Opportunity Freedom

Homestead Act  Gave Government owned land to small farmers A homesteader had only to be the head of a household or at least 21 years of age to claim a 160 acre parcel of land Had to build house, improve land and live on land for 5 years to “prove up” Cost $18  One of the greatest pieces of legislature in American history  Signed into law in 1862 by Abraham Lincoln after the secession of southern states  10% of the area of the United States was claimed and settled under this act  Stayed in affect until 1976, used until 1986 in Alaska

Morrill Act  Signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on July 2, 1862  Granted more than 17 million acres of federal land to the states  Act required each state to sell land and use money to build colleges for agriculture and engineering Known as ‘Land-Grant Universities”

Jim Crow Laws  Laws that enforced segregation  Segregation Forced separation of whites and A.A. in public places  1883 Supreme Court ruled that Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional  Allowed private individuals and businesses to practice segregation  Plessy v. Ferguson “separate but equal” facilities were provided

Populism  US population more than doubled  Number of farmers tripled  This led to overproduction which causes lower prices for crops  Many farmers blamed “big-business”  This combined with one of the worst depressions in history to form a politica and social movement  William McKinley (republican) Presidential victory in 1896 marked the end of the Populist Party
