Lessons examine the political debate over the establishment of the Freedmen’s Bureau, its goals, the problems encountered in pursuing stated goals, and an evaluation of its effectiveness. Documents include excerpts from federal legislation, diary entries, letters, bureau records, land regulations, and labor contracts.
