After the war ened and the Union won, the country needed something to help the new free slaves. Freedmans Buerau was created in March of 1865 by President Abe Lincoln. Its intent was to help aid the newley freed slaves. It was meant to only last on eyear but ened up lasting until 1872 and was disbanned by President Ulyssyes S. Grant. The Bureau encouraged blacks and whites to work together rather then master and slave, it encouraged blacks to get a job and be able to care for themselves, and it kept an eye on contracts between labor and management.
