Even though the land was taken away from the Indians which makes me sad because so many lost their lives, good did come from it.  We now have food that is grown there in our grocery stores and we have access to food all the time. The Indians and homesteaders did not always have access to food all the time.

My thoughts are, why were they so cruel to the Cherokee Indians on their own land.

I feel sad that the native tribes were pushed off their land and that most prairies in the Great Plains were lost. Many people lost their lives as well trying to settle the land or to even get there.

My thoughts on the Homestead Act are that it helped people that need land but it left the native Americans without land.

I think that it was good that homesteaders were able to settle the land and eventually provided the nation with food, but it came at the cost of native tribes losing their land and animals losing their homes as well.

I think that the Homestead Act benefited Americans at the expense of Native Americans.

I feel sorry for the people that thought they were already home, then were forced to leave. I feel bad for the people who lost everything. I also think it's sad that so many animals died because of homesteads.
