Freeman's Bureau, officially known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, was established by the U.S. government in March 1865, during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War. Its primary purpose was to assist freed slaves and impoverished whites in the South by providing food, housing, education, and medical care. The bureau also aimed to facilitate the transition from slavery to freedom and to help integrate formerly enslaved individuals into society. However, it faced significant opposition and was ultimately disbanded in 1872, leaving many of its goals unmet.
