Elderly Brothers Continue Black-Owned Land Legacy of Feeding Community Through Historic Steele Farm Property
Known for its popular collard greens, the 31-acre Promised Land Farm in Port Wentworth, Georgia, is steeped in history. Local lore says at the end of the Civil War, the land was given to the enslaved Roderick Steele through the “40 acres and a mule” promise, made by Union General William T. Sherman through the general’s Special Field Order No. 15, although this is unconfirmed by Atlanta Black Star.
During the Civil War, Steele and other slaves brought water to Union and Confederate forces and helped their Confederate slave masters even more by helping save Savannah from destruction through prolonging Sherman’s march of destruction through Georgia to the coastal city, according to Georgia House Resolution 1780.
