After the Civil War, the slaves were freed. However, many were subjected to tremendous intimidation. Most had no place to live except the old slave cabins. They had no clothes to wear. They had little money. The former masters needed cheap labor and they had desperate people on their hands. In this situation, the Federal Government created the Freedmen's Bureau.
The Freedmen's Bureau, established in 1865, was successful in providing essential assistance to formerly enslaved individuals and impoverished white citizens in the South after the Civil War. It helped establish schools, which educated thousands of African Americans, and provided food, medical care, and employment assistance. Additionally, the Bureau played a crucial role in facilitating the transition to freedom by advocating for civil rights and helping to negotiate labor contracts. Despite facing significant challenges and opposition, the Bureau laid the groundwork for future civil rights advancements.
They felt good because the South is where the Blacks ( African Americans) live.
Opinions among Southerners regarding the Freedmen's Bureau were largely divided. Many white Southerners opposed the Bureau, viewing it as an unwelcome federal intervention aimed at supporting formerly enslaved people and disrupting the social order of the South. They resented the Bureau's efforts to provide education, employment, and civil rights to freedmen. However, some Southerners, particularly those who recognized the need for a stable workforce and economic recovery, supported the Bureau's initiatives.
