Best Answer

Free land attracted settlers to the last frontier. The Homestead Act of 1862, offered 6-hectares to settlers who would occupy and improve the land. Farmers found that the land was more suitable to cattle ranches than farming, and soon all the free land belonged to cattlemen and the railroads.
