Actually several websites discuss forty acres and a mule (aside from it being Spike Lee’s film corporation).
“The value of 40 acres and a mule today is a matter of debate, but some estimates put it at over $6 trillion. This is based on the assumption that the land would be worth the same as it was in 1865, adjusted for inflation and that the mule would be worth the same as a modern tractor.”
When the real program in the 1800s was offered they didn’t even give the mule but some Union soldiers gave away mules anyway after the government didn’t follow through.
I suppose in downtown NY or LA you might pay out that kind of money for 40 acres, but there are lots of other places in the US where 40 acres can go for a lot less.

Ah’m aware...the land value would be debatable now even though Sherman wanted to confiscate all of the Southern coastline for the freed slaves. They would not have created the same value that is there now; it would be Haiti Nord. Probably most of it would have been sold to developers over the last century anyway and the original owners/families dispersed inland...where they are today.
