We've all heard that freed slaves at the end of the war were given 40 acres and a mule, but I've also heard that this was only issued out by Sherman given to the freedmen who marched with him and the land was in reference to the destroyed southern land in the wake of his march to the sea. Are there any sources that have the truth about this that can be cited?
