Who is excluded from the Homestead Act and why?

Confederates, to ensure that the support for the confederates were reduced.

Explanation:

The Homestead Act was created in 1862 to provide both Adult citizens or intended adult citizens who never rise to fight against the government with 160 acres of land.

Since the confederates forces rose against the government during the civil war in 1861, they're excluded from this act.

This made a lot of southern people lost support for the confederates and choose to sided with the union in order to obtain some pieces of those lands.

one of the main reasons was definitely slavery. back in 1861, republican abraham lincoln was elected and ended up being a major influence in the slavery business. slavery greatly affected the texas economy because back in 1845 during the annexation of texas, slaves became a big part of the texas population. many texans that were in favor of the secession influenced groups through party ties.
