The Freedmen's Bureau was established by Congress in 1865 to protect and provide for the South's emancipated slaves. Paul A. Cimbala's case study looks beyond the obvious hostility of white Georgians toward the Bureau to show that its failure lay also in the Bureau's northern free-labor ideology, limited resources, and temporary nature.
PAUL A. CIMBALA is an associate professor of history and chair of the History Department at Fordham University. He is the coeditor of Historians and Race: Autobiography and the Writing of History.
Pressestimmen
"This is an excellent institutional history; indeed, it is the most detailed state study of the Freedman's Bureau to date." - H-CivWar "Provides a useful corrective to those inclined to judge the bureau harshly." - Journal of American History; "A valuable account of the workings of the Bureau on the local level in the agency's declining days." - Journal of Southern History
