English term or phrase: home-steading / ranching
Es un texto sobre como los colonos de America del Norte se establecieron en el siglo XIX. La frase dice así:

"Nothing in material circumstances compelled the North American colonists to prefer home-steading to ranching"

Mi duda es que no sé exactamente como traducir "home-steading" y "ranching". Aunque esto último creo que es "cría de ganado".

tierras gratis / tierras publicas


Explanation:
The Homestead Act of 1862 allowed citizens to acquire public lands not to exceed 160 acres for free if they occupied or farmed them for five years. Meanwhile, ranchers could range their livestock on public land for free with no such limitations. So there was no clear-cut advantage in homesteading, except in the case of poverty.
