After the Civil War, efforts were made to redistribute land in the South among former slaves through initiatives like the Freedmen's Bureau and special provisions like General Sherman's Special Field Orders No. 15, which allocated land to freed slaves. However, many of these efforts faced opposition, and ultimately, most land was not redistributed to former slaves, leaving them economically disadvantaged.
After the Civil War, the promise of owning land in the South was fueled by the Freedmen's Bureau, which aimed to assist freed slaves in acquiring land and establishing themselves economically. The distribution of abandoned and confiscated Confederate land also raised hopes for land ownership among freed slaves. Additionally, the Emancipation Proclamation and Reconstruction Amendments helped solidify the belief that former slaves would have the opportunity to own land in the South.
