The Freedmen's Bureau was set up in 1866 to to aid former slaves through food and housing, oversight, education, health care, and employment contracts with private landowners. The Freedmen's Bureau bill that passed in 1866 provided many additional rights to ex-slaves, including the distribution of land, schools for their children, and military courts to ensure these rights.
