Answer:
The freed men's bureau, was an American service created during Reconstruction to assist freed slaves in their transition to freedom. Its official name was U.S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, and its director was Oliver O. Howard. The office built hospitals and provided medical care to more than 1 million freed slaves and 21 million servings of groceries for blacks and whites. It also built more than 1,000 schools for black children and helped found schools of higher education and normal schools for black people, but was unsuccessful in safeguarding civil rights or promoting the redistribution of land. Later, the congress gave way under pressure from the white southerners and dissolved the organization.
