Reclaiming Our Indigenous Power Series: Atrocity and Betrayal: The Ebenezer Creek, 40 Acres and a Mule Tragedy

Ebenezer Creek, site of (Trail of tears) displaced Indigenous people, is also the site of another avoidable atrocity. As Sherman marched to Savannah, 1864, possibly 5000 escapees from slavery were shot, stabbed, and/or drowned as they fled from an encroaching Confederate Army. Union forces destroyed their only escape route—and watched a slaughter later called "military necessity".
