Whom did the Morrill Land Grant of 1862 most benefit?

I would assume it would be all state institutions.

Answer:
The Morrill Land Grant was established in July 2, 1862 and was a huge stepping stone for Education in the United States.
It made possible the establishment of colleges by new States. This caused a ripple effect as the new institutions established as a result of the grant were focused on agriculture and mechanic arts.
This established lots of opportunities to many farmers and other people who previously weren’t involved in the higher education process.

The Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 aimed to enhance higher education in the U.S. by establishing agricultural and mechanical colleges funded through federal land grants. This legislation primarily benefited farmers and middle-class individuals by providing affordable access to education and aligning with the needs of a growing, industrial economy. The act was a key step in making higher education more inclusive, especially for those previously underserved by traditional elite institutions.
