Answer 1

The correct description of the Headright System is: Free land was given to white heads of households over 21.

This system was used primarily in the American colonies as a way to encourage settlement and to increase the population of areas like Virginia and Georgia. It granted land to people who were willing to develop it, usually favoring white men who were heads of households.
