Inhoud:

The Freedmen's Bureau was established by Congress in 1865 to protect and provide for the South's emancipated slaves. This case study looks beyond the obvious hostility of white Georgians to show that the Bureau's failure was also due to its ideology, limited resources and temporary status.
