General Sherman's Special Field Order Number 15, issued in January 1865, allocated land to formerly enslaved families in the South, specifically along the coast of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. This order aimed to provide economic independence and a means of support for freed African Americans by redistributing land confiscated from Confederate landowners. However, the order was later revoked by President Andrew Johnson, and most of the land was returned to its original owners.
After General Sherman issued Special Field Order No. 15, which promised land to freed slaves, around 40,000 acres of land in Georgia and South Carolina were set aside for this purpose. This initiative provided some freed slaves with a measure of economic independence, but the policy was later overturned by President Andrew Johnson.
