The Freedmen’s Bureau was created in 1865 to help formerly-enslaved people- and poor whites- in the South as the Civil War drew to a close. The stated purpose was to direct “provisions, clothing, and education for refugees and freedmen, though a major focus of the group would be providing aid to millions of people. It was formally headed by General Oliver O. Howard when it began, and it experienced much success in its brief existence. However, in 1872 Congress terminated the Freedmen’s Bureau.
