Publisher's Synopsis
The Freedmen's Bureau: A Chapter In The History Of Reconstruction (1904) is a historical book written by Paul Skeels Peirce. The book provides a detailed account of the Freedmen's Bureau, a government agency established during the Reconstruction era in the United States. The agency was created to provide assistance to newly freed slaves and impoverished whites in the South. The book examines the bureau's role in providing education, healthcare, and employment opportunities to African Americans and poor whites. It also explores the challenges faced by the bureau, including the resistance of white Southerners who opposed the agency's efforts to empower African Americans. Peirce's book provides a comprehensive overview of the Freedmen's Bureau's impact on American society during a critical period in the country's history.
