Answer: C - Horace Greeley encouraged Civil War veterans to capitalize on the Homestead Act by urging them to, “Go west, young man, and grow up with the country” in his New York Tribune editorial column. The line later became synonymous with the age of Manifest Destiny and fueled Greeley's legend as a champion for the populous. His Tribune was the most influential newspaper in America from the 1840s to 1870s.
