The purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau was to assist newly freed African Americans and impoverished whites in the South after the Civil War by providing food, housing, medical care, education, and legal assistance. The bureau also worked to solve problems related to labor, including establishing contracts and fair wages for freedmen who often worked on plantations with former slave owners. The bureau aimed to help integrate newly freed blacks into society and ensure their basic rights were protected.
