African Americans that were freed after the civil war got aid from the Bureau of Refugees, Freemen, and abandoned lands.. They tried to aid the almost 4 million freed slaves that lived in the south. This program was helping many former slaves who had nothing after they were freed.. But this ended in 1868. Some of the challenges former slaves faced was the hatred for them, and laws being passed from congress to make them second class citizens. Laws that forbade them from buying property and voting.
