このコンテンツについて

 This explores the historical significance of the "Forty Acres and a Mule" promise made to formerly enslaved African Americans at the end of the Civil War. It details how Union General William T. Sherman's Special Field Order No. 15 in January 1865 set aside 400,000 acres of confiscated Confederate land along the Atlantic coast for distribution to freed families. The article examines the immediate impact of this order, which settled approximately 40,000 formerly enslaved people on their own land, and discusses how these communities quickly established farms, schools, churches, and governance structures. It also explores the profound psychological and economic significance of land ownership for people who had been enslaved, and how this brief period of possibility demonstrated the potential for African American economic independence when given access to resources. The piece concludes by acknowledging how this promise, though ultimately unfulfilled, continues to influence discussions about racial justice and economic equality in America.2024 Quiet.
