The Freedmen's Bureau greatly assisted the state in developing black education in West Virginia after the Civil War, at a time when public education universally faced obstacles such as geography, financing, teacher shortages and resistance from many residents who viewed public education as a "northern-style" system implemented by a "Bogus State." Blacks faced additional barriers--prejudice and diversion of funds meant for their education. A sparse black population combined with a segregated school system hindered the establishment of black education. Despite this, the state acknowledged "a great zeal in education" among blacks, and with the help of benefactors and federal authorities, education for blacks became a reality.
