The federal homestead program, established by the Homestead Act of 1862, allowed millions of acres of land in the American West to be claimed and settled by U.S. citizens, including immigrants who intended to become citizens. This program significantly contributed to the creation of wealth for white homesteaders and their descendants, many of whom continue to benefit from the land acquisitions made by their ancestors.
