Answer:

HOPE THAT HELPS!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

1. December 8, 1863 - March 31, 1877

2. to provide food, shelter, clothing, medical services, and land to displaced Southerners, including newly freed African Americans

3. A lack of funding, coupled with the politics of race and Reconstruction, meant that the bureau was not able to carry out all of its initiatives, and it failed to provide long-term protection for blacks or ensure any real measure of racial equality.
