The correct answer is both A: Homestead Act and C: Transcontinental Railroad.

The homestead Act of 1862 allowed individuals to acquire 160 acres of undeveloped public land outside the original thirteen colonies.

The railroads facilitated the move west and encroached on Native American hunting and burial grounds.This resulted in the clashing of the two cultures.
