Freedman's bureau was a way to help freed slaves and poor white people get food, clothing, medical care, and legal advice. It was a major part of Reconstruction in the South. After reconstruction, what were the freed slaves supposed to do? They had no money and usually nothing besides maybe a blanket and the clothes on their back. This was how the US government tried to force the South to give the black people rights. The Freedman's Bureau also helped build schools for blacks who had never been educated. Blacks got blacks many more opportunities to live better and prosper.
