FREEDMAN'S BUREAU

The Bureau of Freedmen, Refugees, and Abandoned Lands, commonly known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was created by an act of Congress on March 3, 1865, just a few weeks before Abraham Lincoln's assassination. The Bureau was initially chartered to operate for just one year, but continued until 1868 under the care of commissioner General Oliver O. Howard, who was aided by assistant commissioners in every Southern state and by hundreds of local agents.

As its full name suggests, the Bureau's work combined care for millions of newly freed slaves and the administration of Southern lands seized by Union forces during the war. The Bureau was authorized to distribute much-needed food, fuel, clothing, and medical supplies to the freedmen; to regulate labor and contracts; to aid in the founding of schools and churches; to ensure justice in all legal cases involving freedmen; and, perhaps most promisingly for freedmen in 1865, to distribute abandoned and confiscated Confederate lands among former slaves for rental and eventual sale.

At the local level, the Bureau was usually bitterly opposed by white Southerners and firmly supported by African-Americans. Its work was hindered by local opposition, inadequate funding from the federal government, and the politics of Reconstruction.

Source: Annual report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Virginia. Dept. of Education, 1880

SKETCH FROM REV. R. M. MANLY.

"During the last year of the war, colored regiments which remained in camp for any length of time had regimental schools under the direction of the chaplain, with such assistants as he needed. The attendance was voluntary, but embraced most of the younger men; the assistant teachers were provided by charitable associations North. The soldiers clubbed their efforts and built a rude school-house, which served also for prayer-meetings, and for preaching services in bad weather. Such schools were numerous at Alexandria, Fort Monroe, Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth. In these places, and in the country immediately adjacent to them, the colored children were quite fully provided with teachers. Colored churches, disused barrack-buildings and abandoned dwelling houses supplied school-rooms. During the twelve months preceding the close of the war there must have been as many as three or four thousand children under daily instruction in these schools. I have only my recollection to guide me, and cannot pretend to accuracy.

"There was a great development of this work in the spring and autumn of 1865, and for the five years following, during which the Freedman's Bureau assumed the general control of educational operations and contributed largely to their success, by the erection of buildings and the rental and repairs of others, school-furniture, etc, etc.

"The teachers were commissioned and paid chiefly by the following associations:

"The New York Branch American Freedman's Union Commission. "The New England Branch American Freedman's Union Commission. The American Missionary Association.

"And Missionary Societies in the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopal Churches, and the Philadelphia Friends.

"In 1865 there were 200 teachers and near 13,000 pupils. A gradual increase from year to year until 1870 (when the whole system was discontinued), when there were 412 teachers and over 18,000 pupils. During the last two years Dr. Sears aided by supplementing the salaries of a large number of teachers, and in many schools a small tuition fee was collected.

"Teachers.?Time enough has passed for a dispassionate judgment of the temper, spirit, and professional skill of these workers?the teachers from the North. There was some drift-wood and a few pieces of rotten-wood. This was to be expected where the executive officers of the associations were sending hundreds of teachers, received on recommendations, to all parts of the South. But poor material or indifferent material was in very small proportion to the whole. And there was much of the best work I ever saw done. The young ladies were, in many cases, from homes of affluence and refinement and the highest Christian principle. I doubt if there is better teaching or better discipline in any school in this land than my assistant teachers did for me in my Normal school during its first six years.

I have always affirmed, and still believe, that during this period of five or six years not less than 20,000 learned to read, and some became good scholars and some excellent teachers.

Respectfully, R. M. Manly.

Richmond, Va., December 20, 1880."

Thomas P. Jackson to R. M. Manly, October 2, 1867

Jackson informs Manly of the availability of a school room in the basement of the Methodist Episcopal Church and asks $100 for supplies. He also states the community's preference for a male teacher.

R. M. Manly to Thomas P. Jackson, October 4, 1867

Manly tells Jackson that the only teacher he has available at the moment is a woman, and because the charitable societies have a shortage of teachers, it is unlikely that Jackson will find a male teacher for Staunton.
