it was overwhelmed by the number of refugees.
Many formerly enslaved people fled north (and to Union lines) faster than local and federal authorities could provide housing, food, jobs, and medical care. Limited resources and logistics, plus political disagreements that sometimes restricted relief, made it difficult to meet the needs.
