In rebuilding the South tasks included establishing and supervising schools; disposition of abandoned or confiscated lands; issuing rations, clothing, and medicine to destitute refugees and freedmen (African Americans); establishing hospitals and dispensaries; and supervising camps and settlements for the homeless. Bureau officers worked with benevolent and philanthropic organizations.
