Answer:

The three main purposes of the FREEDOM'S BEREAU ARE:

  • To help educate
  • To provide health care
  • To free slaves

Explanation:

The Freeman's Bureau of 1869-1870 was initiated by Oliver Otis Howard who was a civil war veteran during the war. This bureau was concentrated in the south and was mainly set up to provide three (3) main amenities such as Food, health care, and freedom as a means of social intervention to the blacks and the poor whites as aids after the advent of the civil war. Some other reasons are freedom by legal provision, food, and provision of land.

As the name of the Bureau implies, it also provides the freedom to the slaves that were captured during the war. This bureau was initiated during the reign of President Abraham Lincoln as the president of the United States of America.
