摘要

我们研究美国土地政策的历史，重点是《宅地法》，强调非裔美国人在宅地时期岌岌可危的地位。我们讨论了南北战争和重建时期的历史背景和政治格局的变化，为联邦土地政策和种族问题的研究提供了背景。过去的研究几乎完全是在农业和应用经济学专业之外进行的。我们认为，应用经济学学科特别适合以经验为基础，研究联邦土地政策对美国农业过去和现在的差距和种族构成的影响。

African Americans and federal land policy: Exploring the Homestead Acts of 1862 and 1866

We examine the history of US land policy, with a focus on the Homestead Acts, underscoring the precarious position of African Americans during the homesteading period. We discuss the historical context and the shifting political landscape of the Civil War and Reconstruction era, providing the context for research on federal land policies and problems of race. Past research is almost entirely outside of the agricultural and applied economics profession. We believe that the applied economics discipline is especially suited for empirically examining the influence of federal land policies on past and present disparities and racial makeup of American agriculture.
