This is the "Report Of The Board Of Education For Freedmen, Department Of The Gulf, For The Year 1864." This historical document offers a detailed account of the efforts to educate formerly enslaved people in the Department of the Gulf during the Civil War. The report provides insights into the challenges and achievements of establishing schools and educational programs for freedmen, highlighting the curriculum, teaching methods, and the impact of education on the newly emancipated population.
The Board of Education's work was crucial in the early stages of Reconstruction, aiming to provide African Americans with the tools for self-sufficiency and civic engagement. This report serves as a valuable primary source for understanding the complexities of Reconstruction-era education, the aspirations of freedmen, and the role of the U.S. Army in facilitating educational opportunities.
