Need someones good interpretation on this one:

My ancestor on 24 May 1871 claims lands and property in Pittsylvania Co., VA
under the HOMESTEAD LAW.  This included property of desk, bookcase,
sideboard, bureau, beds, furniture, mare, filly, etc.  Can anyone tell me
what this law was?  Did it have anything to do with the aftermath of the
Civil War?  Thank you in advance.  Molly Shumate
