The Indian Wars begin: Republican (nationalist) President Abraham Lincoln, of the united States—without a constitutional amendment—signs the Homestead Act, opening up indi(genious Americ)an lands “free” to settlement by State sovereign Citizens of European descent.
NOTE: Eighty percent of the land under this act went to railroad, mining and timber corporations. This was nothing more than corporate welfare (Whiggery). Much of the remainder went to immigrant, compulsory Union war veterans, who enlisted with the promise of “free” land.
Postscript: The unchecked, over-development of the unsettled federal enclaves is so environmentally destructive that it leads to the 1930s “Dust Bowl,” in kansas, oklahoma and texas.
