| == Homestead Act ==
| |
| In 1862, Lincoln passed the Homestead Act, allowing [[Settler colonialism|settlers]] to claim 160 acres of land. They could get this land for free after five years or after six months if they paid and could get even more land with timber culture or desert land claims, which they did not have to live on. Most of this land went to land speculators or large landowners instead of individual families. The Morrill Act and Pacific Railroad Act also stole land from natives to establish universities and railroads.<ref name=":0">{{Citation|author=[[Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz]]|year=2014|title=An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States|chapter="Indian Country"|pdf=https://www.lcps.org/cms/lib/VA01000195/Centricity/Domain/10601/An%20Indigenous%20Peoples%20History%20of%20the%20United%20States%20Ortiz.pdf|city=Boston, Massachusetts|publisher=Beacon Press|isbn=9780807000403|page=140–1}}</ref>
