The land that President Andrew Johnson returned primarily belonged to former Confederates who had been loyal to the Union during the Civil War. This policy was part of his broader Reconstruction efforts, where he sought to restore the Southern states and their properties to their original owners. Johnson's approach often conflicted with the desires of Congress, which aimed to provide land to freed slaves and support a more equitable reconstruction of the South.

Did General Sherman promised the freedmen who joined his troops 40 acres of land and a mule.?

General William Tecumseh Sherman did not officially promise freedmen 40 acres and a mule, but he did issue Special Field Order No. 15 in January 1865, which set aside land for freed slaves in South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. This order aimed to provide land to those who had fled to Union lines. However, the promise was not fulfilled after the Civil War ended, as President Andrew Johnson later revoked the order, and the land was returned to its former owners.
