Explanation:

The Freedmen's Bureau was formally referred to as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands.

The main purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau was to provide assistance (practical aid) to millions of poor whites and formally black slaves living in the South, after the American Revolutionary War. It was established as a federal government agency by the US Congress on the 3rd of March, 1865.
