First published in 1978, Claude F. Oubre's Forty Acres and a Mule
has since become a definitive study in the history of American
Reconstruction. Drawing on a vast collection of government records
and newspapers, Oubre examines what he sees as the crucial question
of Reconstruction: Why were the far majority of freed slaves denied
the opportunity to own land during the Reconstruction era, leaving
them vulnerable to a persecution that strongly resembled slavery?
Oubre recounts the struggle of black families to acquire land and
how the U.S. government agency Freedmen's Bureau both served and
obstructed them. This groundbreaking book offers an indispensable
resource for anyone eager to understand the evolution of slavery
studies.
