The Bureau of Refugees consituted an agency of the United States Department of War to "direct such issues of provisions, clothing, and fuel, as he may deem needful for the immediate and temporary shelter and supply of destitute and suffering refugees and freedmen and their wives and children."

The Freedmen's Bureau was most successful in establishing a systematic education for African Americans after the Civil War, creating over 4,300 schools and enrolling around 247,000 students by 1870. It also trained thousands of teachers and provided essential resources for education. Despite facing resistance, the Bureau's efforts significantly advanced educational opportunities for the formerly enslaved population.
