General Sherman's special field order number 15
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.

After the Civil War, several factors led freed slaves to believe they could own land in the South. These included promises made by Union generals, the Freedmen's Bureau assisting with land distribution, and the passage of the Homestead Acts which provided opportunities for land ownership. Additionally, the hope for economic independence and self-sufficiency played a role in motivating freed slaves to pursue land ownership.

After the Civil War, the promise of owning land in the South was fueled by the Freedmen's Bureau, which aimed to assist freed slaves in acquiring land and establishing themselves economically. The distribution of abandoned and confiscated Confederate land also raised hopes for land ownership among freed slaves. Additionally, the Emancipation Proclamation and Reconstruction Amendments helped solidify the belief that former slaves would have the opportunity to own land in the South.
