Explanation:

After the Civil War, the Freedmen's Bureau, established in 1865, provided food, medical and legal assistance, housing and schools for the freed slaves and poor whites of the South. The Reconstruction Era was very difficult, because the American state struggled to find the right way for the transitioning of the 4 million freed slaves to the labor market.

The Freedmen's Bureau was an innovative idea, but, unfortunately, it couldn't carry all its programs to the end, because of the lack of funds and personnel.

in 1897, pershing became a tactical officer at west point, and that's where he was given the nickname "black jack." pershing's first name is "john," for which "jack" is a nickname, and he was a white man who commanded black troops. hence "black jack".
