The two correct answers regarding the effects of the Homestead Act on American Indians in the late 1800s are:

  1. Increased encroachment of white settlers onto American Indian lands
  2. Violence against American Indians

These effects stemmed from the Homestead Act, which encouraged the settlement of lands in the West by offering tracts of land to settlers, leading to increased competition for land and resources between settlers and American Indian tribes.
