What groups where promised Forty Acres and a Mule after the Civil War?

After the Civil War, the promise of "Forty Acres and a Mule" was primarily aimed at formerly enslaved African Americans. This proposal was initiated by General William Tecumseh Sherman in Special Field Orders No. 15, which aimed to redistribute land to freed slaves to help them establish independent livelihoods. However, the promise was largely unfulfilled, as land redistribution efforts faced significant political and logistical obstacles during the Reconstruction era. Ultimately, most freedmen did not receive the land or resources promised to them.

What did congress do to forty acres and a mule?

The phrase "forty acres and a mule" refers to a post-Civil War policy aimed at providing land to formerly enslaved individuals. In 1865, General William Tecumseh Sherman issued Special Field Orders No. 15, which allocated 40 acres of land and a mule to freed African American families. However, this promise was largely rescinded by Congress and later administrations, with land being returned to its original white owners, effectively nullifying the intended support for Black land ownership and economic independence. As a result, the initiative never materialized on a large scale, leaving many African Americans without the promised resources.
