The Freedmen's Bureau
The major goal of the Freedmen's Bureau was to assist formerly enslaved individuals in transitioning to freedom by providing them with food, housing, education, and employment opportunities.
Congress created the Freedman's Bureau, an agency with the ability to take on many of the needs that were important to the former slaves. The bureau provided education, housing, built churches and schools, provided healthcare, and acted as an advocate for the blacks who were forming labor contracts with their former masters.
The 15th amendment gave former enslaved people the right to vote
Working for wages meant that former slaves would engage in an unequal bargaining relationship with their former master, would suffer the fear of being re-enslaved, and would experience debasement. They wanted freedom and not dependency.
Freedmen's Bureau One agency is the federal agency that helped the former slaves.
