It gave former Confederate land along the Carolina coast to the formerly enslaved.
Sherman’s Special Field Order No. 15 (Jan. 16, 1865) set aside coastal land in Georgia and South Carolina to be divided into roughly 40‑acre plots for freed families (the origin of the “40 acres and a mule” idea). It did not grant citizenship, end slavery, or guarantee voting rights (those issues were settled later by federal legislation and amendments).
