The purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau, officially known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, was to provide assistance to newly freed African Americans, particularly those who had been enslaved, after the Civil War. The Bureau helped to provide food, clothing, education, medical care, and employment opportunities to freedmen and their families. It also helped to reunite families that had been separated during slavery and provided legal assistance to protect their rights and ensure fair treatment. Overall, the Freedmen's Bureau aimed to assist in the transition from slavery to freedom and promote economic and social stability for newly emancipated individuals.
