As the economy developed in the postwar period, the [Freedmen's] Bureau was there to try to help protect the freedmen and poor whites from employers who tried to take advantage of them. For example, the agency set rules for written contracts and wage scales. The Bureau also coordinated efforts to provide hospitals for African Americans. One of the most significant areas of the Bureau's work was in education. Working with northern churches, missionary societies, and other aid groups, the Bureau helped bring literacy and education to those who had been legally denied those benefits before the Civil War. The Bureau funded the buildings, sometimes through purchase and other times through construction, while the northern groups usually sent and paid the teachers. Georgia had dozens of Freedmen's Bureau schools.
What were some of the responsibilities of the Freedmen’s Bureau? Check all that apply.
establishing schools
setting up hospitals
planting new farms
creating new churches
protecting poor white farmers
assisting with contracts and wages
