This video looks at the documents conceived in the early 1860s and during the Civil War and the years immediately following. Educators from noted American universities share their insights on the Homestead Act, Pacific Railway Act and Morrill Act (1862). The Homestead Act encouraged the settlement of the American West by granting up to 160 acres of land for those who would work the land. The Pacific Railway Act gave land to railroad companies to develop rail lines linking East and West coasts. The Morrill Act helped states to fund agricultural and engineering colleges.
