To fight the Black Codes, the federal government set up Freedman's Bureau in March 1865 to help former enslaved Americans adjust to freedom. The Bureau was only supposed to exist for one year. It provided medical care, clothing, food, and fuel to freedmen and their families. Most had received no education and could not read or write. The Freedmen's Bureau established schools to help educate black children. Many former slaves moved to cities but had trouble finding jobs. The Bureau helped by providing transportation where work was available. It also helped freedmen get fair wages for their work.
