The Freedmen's Bureau, established in 1865, was a government agency tasked with assisting newly freed African Americans in the post-Civil War South. Despite facing immense challenges, including poverty, violence, and resistance from Southern planters, the Bureau achieved significant successes, including distributing food and clothing, establishing schools, and providing legal assistance. The Bureau's efforts in education, in particular, had a lasting impact, laying the groundwork for future civil rights advancements.
