The purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau was to provide assistance and support to newly emancipated slaves during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War. This included providing food, housing, education, and employment opportunities for former slaves and other disenfranchised individuals in the South. The Freedmen's Bureau also worked to protect the rights of former slaves and ensure their safety in the aftermath of the war. The bureau did not specifically focus on granting land or voting rights to former slaves.
