The Freedmen’s Bureau, formally known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, was established  by an act of Congress on March 3, 1865, two months before Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to the Union’s Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, effectively ending the Civil War.

Its goal was 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.

Intended as a temporary agency to last the duration of the war and one year afterward, the bureau was placed under the authority of the War Department and the majority of its original employees were Civil War soldiers.

Thomas Howard Ruger (1833 – 1907) was an American soldier and lawyer who served as a Union general in the American Civil War. Ruger organized a division at Nashville and led his command to North Carolina in June 1865, and then had charge of the department of that state until June 1866.
