Freedmen’s Bureau (1865) Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands. Many former northern abolitionists risked their lives to help southern freedmen. Called “carpetbaggers” by white southern Democrats.

Freedmen’s Bureau Developed to help former slaves Provided food, schools, legal help, etc.

Freedmen’s Bureau School

Plenty to eat and nothing to do. Freedmen’s Bureau Seen Through Southern Eyes Plenty to eat and nothing to do.

Imagine you are a White Southerner . . . Wouldn’t you be angry that the Freedmen are getting all this help and you didn’t? How might you react? You might become defiant! You might feel that you have lost power!

As a Result, the Freedmen’s Bureau Could not overcome Southern hostilities Lacked political support from both Northern and Southern government officials Ended in 1872

Freedmen are on their own now!
