In 1865, the city of Richmond, Virginia, served as the Confederate capital and was protected by Petersburg, which acted as a crucial buffer. Petersburg was strategically located and its defenses were vital for safeguarding Richmond from Union forces. The fall of Petersburg in April 1865 ultimately led to the fall of Richmond shortly thereafter, marking a significant turning point in the Civil War.

What was the Freedman's Bureau?
On March 3, 1865, Congress established the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, commonly known as the Freedmen's Bureau, which was intended to address all of the concerns of the refugees and freedmen who lived within the states during Reconstruction. It was to be in service for only one year but, on July 16, 1866, Congress extended the life of the bureau despite the veto by President Andrew Johnson. The bureau's main purposes were to establish schools, to help the freedmen to resettle, to provide food and medical care, to manage abandoned or confiscated property, to ensure justice for the freedmen, and to regulate labor. In many cases, it also provided aid for destitute whites. The bureau opened 4000 free schools, including several colleges, and educated 250,000 African Americans. By 1870, 21% of African-American population could read. Although the bureau was successful in its educational goals, it failed in its goal to help the freedmen to resettle. While the bureau gave 850,000 acres to the freedmen, President Andrew Johnson revoked the land and gave it to the Confederate landowners, instead. Consequently, the bureau focused upon employment and encouraged the freedmen to work on plantations. However, problems arose when the freedmen became sharecroppers and tenant farmers. Even though there were many problems, the Freedmen's Bureau did help the newly freed African-Americans to get the rights that they had been denied. These included the right to an education, the right to due process, the right to the practice of religion, and the right to contract.
