Oliver Otis Howard played a significant role in assisting freed people in the South as the head of the Freedmen's Bureau, established in 1865. He focused on providing education, healthcare, and legal assistance to formerly enslaved individuals, helping them transition to freedom. Under his leadership, the Bureau established schools and advocated for land ownership and labor rights for freed people, significantly contributing to their integration into society. Howard's efforts aimed to secure civil rights and improve the overall well-being of the African American community in the post-Civil War South.
