The goal of the Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction was to assist formerly enslaved individuals and impoverished whites in the South by providing essential services such as education, healthcare, and employment assistance. Established in 1865, the Bureau aimed to facilitate the transition from slavery to freedom, promote civil rights, and help integrate freedmen into society. It sought to address the immediate social and economic challenges faced by these populations in the aftermath of the Civil War. Ultimately, the Bureau played a crucial role in shaping the post-war South and advancing the rights of African Americans.
Most white southerners held the opinion that the racial hierarchy had been just and supported continued white supremacy. They were not happy that the people they once considered chattel were now on an equal political footing with them. As a result, many white racist terrorist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan were formed during this period as a means of maintaining racial inequality.
White Southerners resented the work of the Freedmans's Bureau. Many white southerners resented the aid offered by the Freedmen's Bureau. Lincoln's plan of reconstruction, however, was not based on trying to lay blame on the Southern states for starting the war. Rather it was a conciliatory effort based on the belief that the Confederate states had never left the Union.
