Why was the freedman's bureau established?
After the Civil War, a group called "Radical Republicans" passed several bills to aid the freedmen in the South. 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 was orginally established to help freedmen by educating them, feeding them and teaching them how to make a living as a freed slave.

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.
