General Sherman's Order 15, issued in January 1865, aimed to provide land to formerly enslaved individuals by redistributing land along the southern coast, specifically 40 acres per family. This order was part of Sherman's broader military strategy during the Civil War, intending to assist freed African Americans in establishing economic independence. However, the order was quickly rescinded later that year, and many of the lands promised were returned to their original white owners.

Robert e Lee was the Souths General who surrenders to a General Sherman and a General Grant who led a "march to the sea" burning down everything in his path. He also set aside 400000 acres of land to give to former slaves. After this the south surrenders and the north wins the Civil War. General Sherman is more remembered for this incident.
