General Sherman and the war secretary met with leaders of the black community, and Sherman then issued a field order to promise former African-American slaves the 40 acres. Promise of a mule came later but both have come to be grouped together. The promise was later withdrawn during Reconstruction. (It's also the name of Spike Lee's film company.)

That was a new one on me too. I assumed it was an American one, looks like I was right. Though judging by how few got it, it appears to quite an unusual American one.

Never heard it, either, unless it refers to holding a carrot hanging from a stick in front of mule to get him to move, but that's carrot and stick, not "a" carrot and "a" stick.

Yes, it refers to an incentive (the carrot) or a threat (the stick). Maybe more of a British phrase - very well known over here>

It refers to ways of getting someone to do what you want (like getting a stubborn donkey to move) with some combination of positive incentives (luring with carrot) and negative incentives (a smack on the rump with a stick).
