Freedmen’s Education During Reconstruction (FEDR) Dataset
In work with Breanna C. Gray, we are compiling digitized educational records of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (i.e. Freedmen’s Bureau). These data report the educational attainments of emancipated slaves in the Reconstruction-era American South, disaggregated by gender, subject, county, and month. FEDR data represent the richest existing portrait of educational initiatives undertaken during Reconstruction. In a series of projects, we use these data to study: (1) how the presence of occupation forces during Reconstruction affected African American engagement with Freedmen's Bureau schools; and (2) the political and economic legacies of education during Reconstruction.
