Answer:

It was created to help former slaves adjust to life a free citizen.

The Freedmen's Bureau was ended in 1872 due to pressure from Southern politicians.

Explanation:

The Freedmen’s Bureau was formally known as the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands. It was established in 1865 by Congress to help millions of newly freed African Americans and poor whites in the South during the years following the Civil War.

The Bureau met opposition from many white Southerners, and President Andrew Johnson, who assumed office after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, was a preeminent opponent. He even vetoed the proposition to extend the bureau’s tenure and legal powers, in 1866.

By 1872, pressured by white Southerner politicians, Congress, ended the Freedmen’s Bureau.
