Answer:

It was both.

Step-by-step explanation:

Freedmen’s Bureau worked with educated former slaves and Northern churches and charities to open up more than 4,300 schools in the South. It also provided food, shelter, and medical aid for former black slaves. However, it failed to grant blacks land. President Andrew Johnson vetoed the bill that extended the bureau’s tenure since it interfered with states’ rights.

Hope this helps!
