They sang songs, took care of other people’s kids, had rebellions, refused to adopt some white names their masters would try to give them, house slaves would put glass shards in their masters’ food, they might’ve poisoned their masters’ food, it’s a lot of things they did. Some would teach themselves how to read and write or the elders would take care of the younger kids while the teenagers / young adults would be in the field.

The Freedmen’s Bureau, formally known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, was established in 1865 by Congress to help millions of former black slaves and poor whites in the South in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Freedmen’s Bureau provided food, housing and medical aid, established schools and offered legal assistance. It also attempted to settle former slaves on land confiscated or abandoned during the war. However, the bureau was prevented from fully carrying out its programs due to a shortage of funds and personnel, along with the politics of race and Reconstruction.
