The Freedmen's Bureau was established in March 1865 by Congress to assist formerly enslaved people and impoverished whites in the South following the Civil War. Its primary goals were to provide food, housing, medical care, and education, as well as to help negotiate labor contracts and secure legal rights. The Bureau aimed to facilitate the transition from slavery to freedom and promote social and economic stability in the post-war South. Despite its challenges and limited funding, it played a crucial role in the early efforts toward civil rights and integration.
