The Homestead Acts are a group of federal laws that gave ownership of land, called a “homestead,” at little or no cost, to people who applied for it. The original Homestead Act of 1862 was signed by President Abraham Lincoln.  Applicants had to be the head of a household or at least 21 years old.  They had to live on the land, build a home, make “improvements” on the land, and farm it for a minimum of five years.  The intent was to grant land for agriculture, but the law was abused, and much land fell into the hands of land speculators.  Still, the Homestead Acts have always been thought of as a good thing by mainstream Americans.  A lot of people in my generation grew up watching Westerns on  TV, where the trials and tribulations of the white settlers were highly romanticized.

The Homestead Act of 1862 impacted American Indians by displacing them from their ancestral lands.

Explanation: The Homestead Act of 1862 was signed by President Lincoln during the Civil War and it provided white settlers with 160 acres of government-owned land. However, Native Americans had been living in these lands for a long time; in other words, these lands were their home. As Native Americans did not want to leave nor share the place with the new settlers, the government forced them to leave in order to clear the way for the new settlers and offered to relocate them.

is that it?

explanation:

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
