• Los recién llegados aprendieron rápidamente a desenvolverse y pronto se sintieron como en casa. La Homestead Act de 1862 les brindó, al igual que a muchos otros pioneros, la oportunidad de adquirir tierras y establecer granjas familiares. Para los inmigrantes ávidos de tierra, el duro césped de la pradera parecía una oportunidad de oro y la conquistaron trabajando duro.

• Hay ciertas cosas que sólo podemos hacer juntos. Hay ciertas cosas que sólo puede hacer una unión.

• La política de homestead se estableció sólo después de una larga y seria resistencia; la experiencia demuestra su sabiduría. Las tierras en manos de colonos industriosos, cuyo trabajo crea riqueza y contribuye a los recursos públicos, valen más para los Estados Unidos que si se hubieran reservado como soledad para futuros compradores.

• I see no reason why Indians who can give satisfactory proof of having by their own labor supported their families for a number of years, and who are willing to detach themselves from their tribal relations, should not be admitted to the benefit of the homestead act and the privileges of citizenship, and I recommend the passage of a law to that effect. It will be an act of justice as well as a measure of encouragement.

• One hundred and fifty years ago the vacant lands of the West were opened to private use. One hundred years ago the Congress passed the Homestead Act, probably the single greatest stimulus to national development ever enacted. Under the impetus of that Act and other laws, more than 1.1 billion acres of the original public main have been transferred to private and non-federal public ownership. The 768 million acres remaining in federal ownership are a valuable national asset.

• I've long believed that one of the mainsprings of our own liberty has been the widespread ownership of property among our people and the expectation that anyone's child, even from the humblest of families, could grow up to own a business or a corporation. Thomas Jefferson dreamed of a land of small farmers, of shopowners, and merchants. Abraham Lincoln signed into law the Homestead Act that ensured that the great western prairies of America would be the realm of independent, propertyowning citizens-a mightier guarantee of freedom is difficult to imagine.
