President Johnson strongly opposed the bill to increase the powers of the Freedmen's Bureau. He vetoed the bill and delivered a speech arguing that it was unconstitutional and an overreach of federal power. Johnson believed in a more limited role for the federal government in providing assistance to newly freed slaves.
