The Freedmen's Bureau in Prince William County

A Live Video Presentation

The Freedman's Bureau played an important role in the early years of Reconstruction.

The Civil War retains an important part in the American experience over 150 years after its conclusion. But what happened after the war? The Reconstruction Era is mostly forgotten today, or when it is remembered retains misconceptions that became popular 100 years ago.  The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, or Freedmen’s Bureau was charged with the monumental task of undertaking the first instance of nation-building in American history. Bill Backus from Prince William Historic Preservation will present a lecture on the history of this important institution here in Prince William County.
