The correct answer is: "Free land was given to white heads of households over 21."
The Headright System was a land distribution method used in the colonial era of the United States. To understand why this answer is correct, let's go through each option:
1. "Free land was given to white heads of households over 21": This option accurately describes the Headright System. Under this system, anyone who paid for their own passage to the colonies would receive 50 acres of land, plus an additional 50 acres for each person they brought with them, such as family members or servants. These individuals, known as "headrights," had to be white heads of households over the age of 21.
2. "Free land was given to white men and slaves who fought during the Civil War": This option is incorrect. The Headright System predates the Civil War, which took place in the mid-19th century. It was implemented during the colonial era, primarily in the 17th and 18th centuries.
3. "A barter and trade system that was established for anyone with a family or for soldiers who wished to own land": This option does not accurately describe the Headright System. The Headright System did not involve barter and trade; instead, it granted land as a reward for immigrating to the colonies.
4. "Land was sold to heads of households who could pay a penny per acre": This option is incorrect. The Headright System did not involve the sale of land for a penny per acre. Rather, it granted free land as an incentive for individuals to settle in the colonies.
Based on the descriptions provided, option 1 is the most accurate and relevant answer to the question about the Headright System.
