Explanation:
The Freedmen Bureau was the popular name of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands which was passed by an act by Congress on 3 March 1865 to help the African Americans and poor whites of south who lost their livelihood in Civil war. It aimed to provide educational facilities, legal assistance, housing and food to the former slaves. Efforts of this bureau were undermined because of the shortage of funds and racial segregation practices erupted in the South.
The larger population a state had the more representation they got in Congress so southern states did want slaves to count towards the states population. Slaves would later be counted and 3 out of every 5 slaves were counted as people.
Judging by Robert Caro's writings on Johnson, Johnson's experiences working with both white and Mexican children in Texas impacted him greatly and influenced his view that government can and should help people escape from poverty.
