(Sorry, the first one is bad. I clicked the submit on accident)
Are you a former slave looking for a job? Well now is your chance. Your former owners have offered a chance for you to come back to your old place and work for pay, not for free. Just ask your old master if he wants help and you have a job!

The Freedmans Bureau had many important jobs involved, but one was very important. Being a school teacher was very important for the blacks being sucessful in life and getting a job. Most African Americans didn't know how to read and write making it hard for them to get a job. Since they couldn't get jobs it was hard to get food, shelter, clothing, and anything else needed.

Hello,
My name isTabatha C. Washington and I would like to inform you about my job in the Freedmen's Bureau. I work in the educational department; I teach college students at Georgia university. Teachers help freed slaves and people who cannot aford education. The Frredman's Bureau also helps with food, money, and lawyers made contract with all. There was also some cons of the Freedmen's Bureau, lots of money was lost in the process of feeding, teaching, and building house for 4 million freed slaaves (which is the reason why it was band after seven years). The Freedman's Bureau was good and bad so I hope you have learned alot from my job description. -Tabatha C Washington
