The Freedman's Burea

After the end of the Civil war many of the newly freed slaves were left on the streets with no money, food, job, house, or education, they were given the opportunity to stay with their masters and work they went off into freedom not questioning theses things. Along with bad living conditions they were constantly having their rights taken away so to help fix this the Radical Republicans initiated the Freedmen's Bureau, an organization with the goal of protecting the rights of free slaves and also helping to educate them also giving them better living conditions such as a living place, and the opportunity to get a job. The Freedmen's Bureau helped more than 40,000 newly freed slaves over the course of their organization and has helped to be the basis of many more organizations since.
