The Freedmen's Bureau was established in 1865 by the U.S. government to assist formerly enslaved people in the South during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War. Its primary functions included providing food, housing, medical care, and education, as well as helping to negotiate labor contracts and establish legal rights for freedmen.
