dbo:abstract
Special Field Orders, No. 15 (series 1865) were military orders issued during the American Civil War, on January 16, 1865, by General William Tecumseh Sherman, commander of the Military Division of the Mississippi of the United States Army. They provided for the confiscation of 400,000 acres (1,600 km2) of land along the Atlantic coast of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida and the dividing of it into parcels of not more than 40 acres (0.16 km2), on which were to be settled approximately 18,000 formerly enslaved families and other black people then living in the area. The orders were issued following Sherman's March to the Sea. They were intended to address the immediate problem of dealing with the tens of thousands of black refugees who had joined Sherman's march in search of protection and sustenance, and "to assure the harmony of action in the area of operations." Critics allege that his intention was for the order to be a temporary measure to address an immediate problem, and not to grant permanent ownership of the land to the freedmen, although most of the recipients assumed otherwise. General Sherman issued his orders four days after meeting with twenty local black ministers and lay leaders and with U.S. Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton in Savannah, Georgia. Brig. Gen. Rufus Saxton, an abolitionist from Massachusetts who had previously organized the recruitment of black soldiers for the Union Army, was put in charge of implementing the orders. Freedmen were settled in Georgia, particularly along the Savannah River, in the Ogeechee district of Chatham County, and on islands off of the coast of Savannah. In the end, the orders had little concrete effect because President Andrew Johnson issued a proclamation that returned the lands to southern owners who took a loyalty oath. Johnson granted amnesty to most former Confederates and allowed the rebel states to elect new governments. These governments, which often included ex-Confederate officials, soon enacted black codes, measures designed to control and repress the recently freed slave population. General Saxton and his staff at the Charleston SC Freedmen Bureau's office refused to carry out President Johnson's wishes and denied all applications to have lands returned. In the end, Johnson and his allies removed General Saxton and his staff, but not before Congress was able to provide legislation to assist some families in keeping their lands. Although mules are not mentioned in the orders, they were a main source for the expression "forty acres and a mule." A historical marker commemorating the order is in Savannah, near the corner of Harris and Bull streets, in Madison Square.

Les ordres ont été publiés à la suite de la marche de Sherman vers la mer. Ils ont été prévus pour aborder le problème immédiat de traiter les dizaines de milliers de réfugiés noirs qui avaient joint la marche de Sherman à la recherche de protection. Le général Sherman publia ses Orders après la rencontre à Savannah avec vingt pasteurs de la communauté noire et avec le secrétaire à la Guerre Edwin M. Stanton. , un abolitionniste du Massachusetts qui avait précédemment organisé le recrutement de soldats noirs pour l'Armée de l'Union, eut pour charge de mettre en œuvre les Orders. Les Orders eurent peu d'effet concret, puisqu'ils furent révoqués en automne de la même année par le président Andrew Johnson, qui succéda à Abraham Lincoln après son assassinat. Les Orders sont très certainement à l'origine de l'expression « 40 acres et une mule ».
