Southerners generally viewed the Freedmen's Bureau with suspicion and hostility. Many white Southerners resented the bureau's efforts to assist formerly enslaved people, seeing it as an infringement on their rights and a tool of federal overreach. The bureau's focus on promoting education and civil rights for African Americans was perceived as a threat to the social order that had existed prior to the Civil War. This antagonism contributed to ongoing tensions during the Reconstruction era.
