Question

1. why did some southerners reject william tecumseh shermans plan to give land to former slaves?○ some southerners felt that land was the souths least valuable asset.○ some southerners felt that former slaves needed jobs not land.○ some southerners felt that many former slaves had already taken most plantations.○ some southerners felt that confiscating property violated the constitution.

Explanation:

Sherman's Special Field Order 15 set aside land for formerly enslaved people, but white southerners opposed it, arguing that seizing private land (their property) violated the U.S. Constitution's protections for property rights. The other options are incorrect: land was the South's most valuable economic asset, southerners did not argue former slaves needed jobs over land, and former slaves had not taken most plantations at this point.

Answer:

Some southerners felt that confiscating property violated the Constitution.
