I was a pioneer travelled with Daniel Freeman during these years; in order to get land I can say that it was not that so easy. We came across with price problem, the area problems and diseases problems; because the Mexican-American war happened in the mid 1800s, make the prices of corn and wheat rise. And then wind, blizzards, and plagues of insects threatened crops, this made many farmer lost their profits. After the follow years there are still some new problems appeared. At last on January 1, 1863, Daniel Freeman and 417 other filed claims, soon after this many more pioneers built the new country, and many people got their own lands. At this time people began to enjoy their lives.

It’s pretty good, but how about the Homestead Act ? Maybe if you add the law, it’s much beeter.Do you agree with me ?
