The Freedmen's Bureau Bill, officially known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands Act of 1865, established the Freedmen's Bureau to assist formerly enslaved individuals and impoverished whites in the South following the Civil War. The bureau provided food, housing, medical aid, education, and legal assistance, aiming to facilitate the transition to freedom and integrate freedmen into society. It played a crucial role in the Reconstruction era but faced significant opposition and was ultimately dismantled in 1872.
