The Freedmen’s Bureau [FB] was the federal government’s first attempt at a comprehensive social assistance program. At the end of the Civil war in 1865, the FB was created. Its goal was to facilitate the amalgamation of four million slaves into society. According to the National Archives: “The Bureau was established to undertake the relief effort and the unprecedented social reconstruction that would bring freedpeople to full citizenship.” The FB would best be described as the “8 Track Tape player,” of social services. It had great intentions, but after a few years it was ineffectual! In 1872 the FB was closed.
