Question

Explain some of the challenges the Freedmen's Bureau faced in the post-Civil War years as Emmanuel Dabney describes them.

Answer 1

Some of the challenges faced by the Freedman's bureau as described by Emmanuel Dabney include:

• Misconceptions by Black Americans
• President Johnson's opposition to the Bureau's work
• Conflict between Black and White people

The Freedman's Bureau had a lot of work to do in the South after the Civil War. Part of this included laying to rest, misconceptions that Black Americans had about their new status such as:

• The land of the white owners would be shared
• Staying on a plantation would lead to their re-enslavement

There was also President Johnson who was opposed to the Bureau as he was of Southern descent. He vetoed Freedman Bureau acts and restored land under the Bureau to previous Confederates.

The Bureau was also to act as a peacemaker in the South to calm the ever rising tension between the Whites and the previously enslaved Blacks.

In conclusion, the Freedman's Bureau faced a lot of challenges in carrying out their roles.
