Why did civilians on saipan kill themselves and their children?

seppuku was used either voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies (and likely be tortured)

Explanation:

i do believe its (d) it allowed the government to offer pioneers sixty acres of western land if they lived on it and made improvements to it.

explanation: signed into law in may 1862, the homestead act opened up settlement in the western united states, allowing any american, including freed slaves, to put in a claim for up to 160 free acres of federal land. by the end of the civil war, 15,000 homestead claims had been established, and more followed in the postwar years

the answer is c, all the other options are things they are known for.

hope this ☺️
