One of those bills increaced the role of the Freedmen's Bureau.The Freedmen's Bureau was used to help less wealthy black and whites alike.The bureau would help the freedmen by finding them jobs and giving them food and clothing. The agency even established schools and hospitals in the South, for freedmen of all ages. Congress was originally going to fund the agency for a year, however they began to realize how much good the Freedmen's Bureau was doing they kept funding it. Although the agency was a good cause, many (including some freedmen) critized the bureau. Bad bureau officials and slow response to freedmen's needs where often heard complaints.

The Freedmen's Bureau, less commonly but more formally known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, was a U.S. federal government agency that aided distressed refugees and freedmen (freed slaves) in 1865-1869, during the Reconstruction era of the United States. The Freedmen's Bureau Bill, which created the Freedmen's Bureau, was initiated by President Abraham Lincoln and was intended to last for one year after the end of the Civil War. It was passed on March 3, 1865, by Congress to aid former slaves through legal food and housing, oversight, education, health care, and employment contracts with private landowners. It became a key agency during Reconstruction, assisting freedmen (freed ex-slaves) in the South. The Bureau was part of the United States Department of War. Headed by Union Army General Oliver O. Howard, the Bureau was operational from 1865 to 1869. It was disbanded under President Ulysses S. Grant. At the end of the war, the Bureau's main role was providing emergency food, housing, and medical aid to refugees, though it also helped reunite families.
