Definición
- Established on March 3, 1865, by the Freedmen's Bureau Act, The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, better known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was sanctioned as an agency to provide social uplift to approximately 4 million newly freed African Americans released from the bondage of enslavement. With the adoption of the Thirteenth Amendment (1865), the Civil Rights Act of 1866, and the pending Fourteenth Amendment (1868), the Freedmen's Bureau had seven responsibilities: the relief of physical suffering, the overseeing of the beginnings of free labor, the buying and selling of land, the establishment of schools, the paying of bounties, the administration of justice, and the financing of all the activities.
