Sherman's orders specifically allocated "the islands from Charleston, south, the abandoned rice fields along the rivers for thirty miles back from the sea, and the country bordering the St. Johns river, Florida".
After the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, his successor, Andrew Johnson, revoked Sherman's Orders. It is sometimes mistakenly claimed that Johnson also vetoed the enactment of the policy as a federal statute (introduced as U.S. Senate Bill 60). In fact, the Freedmen's Bureau Bill which he vetoed made no mention of grants of land or mules. (Another version of the Freedmen's bill, also without the land grants, was later passed after Johnson's second veto was overridden.) However, the Special Field Orders, also known as operational orders issued by Sherman were never intended to function as the official policy of the United States in application to all slaves, and were issued "throughout the campaign to assure the harmony of action in the area of operations".[3]
By June 1865, around 10,000 freed slaves were settled on 400,000 acres (160,000 ha) in Georgia and South Carolina. Soon after, President Andrew Johnson reversed the order and returned the land to its white former owners. Because of this, the phrase has come to represent the failure of Reconstruction and the general public to return to African Americans the fruit of their labors.
40 acres (16 hectares) is a standard size for rural land, being a sixteenth of a section (square mile), or a quarter quarter-section, under the Public Land Survey System used on land settled after 1785.

The "Strawman" is a fake identity, it is a corporation that poses as you. It allows you to engage in "commerce" and enter the fictional worlds of the banking system and the judicial system. The "Strawman" is an Avatar! The Government Bonds you at the issuance of the SS#. It is an unlimited bond, that allows you to play in their system. Since there is no money and they have no stuff in which to pay their debts to the "Federal Reserve", the hidden creditors behind the fake U.S. Government, they have used you. You are there Donkey, there slave, you are to pay the debt for them. Your labor, your genius, and ultimately your life.
How does the government access this bond? Through an account number in the Department of Treasury. Where can you find this number? If you pull out one of the newer Social Security cards, you will find it on the back of the Social Security cards in Red letters, yes like a lotto ticket. The number can be used on a check to access this Treasury account to pay off all forms of debt, it cannot be accessed to get money, like through and ATM, but pay off credit card debt, mortgage debt and yes, IRS debt.
How do I know? That may be a story for another day, a private chat..
