Reconstruction Agency
The Reconstruction Agency was a government initiative established in the United States after the Civil War, aimed at rebuilding the South and integrating formerly enslaved people into society. It focused on providing education, healthcare, and economic opportunities to help restore the region and promote civil rights.
One of the key components of the Reconstruction Agency was the Freedmen's Bureau, which assisted newly freed African Americans by offering support in areas like employment, education, and legal rights. The agency played a crucial role in shaping post-war America, although its efforts faced significant challenges and opposition.
