Answer:

The schools took off, and by the end of 1865 (the first year the Bureau operated), there were more than 90,000 freed slaves enrolled in public school. The establishment of free schools for former slaves impacted education in many ways. These schools gave both poor whites and freedmen the opportunity to learn and this later led to African Americans being able to hold political office and these school played a large role in this.
