Many freed slaves believed they would be able to own land in the South due to promises made by the U.S. government and the Freedmen's Bureau. The promise of "40 acres and a mule" following the Civil War fueled this belief, but ultimately these promises were not fulfilled as land was returned to former Confederate landowners.
