Explain how the Freedmens Bureau helped reform education in the South.

The
Freedmen's Bureau helped to reform education in the South mainly by helping to create a system
of public education in that region.

Before the Civil War, there was very
little in the way of public education in the South.  Southerners typically felt that education
was something that should be provided by the family or the church.  This meant that it was
mostly well-off white people who got educated.

During Reconstruction, the
Freedmen's Bureau helped to create schools for the freed slaves.  By doing so, they also helped
to create the idea that state governments should be responsible for providing education not only
to blacks but to whites as well.
