The various causes lead- ing to this failure have been discussed at length and may be summed up as follows: Poor business management; neglect of duty by the more honest and capable trustees; the failure of Congress to make an investigation in time; the general de- pression of business in 1873; hostility to the bank as a race institution and as a connection of the Freedmen’s Bureau; dishonesty and in- competency in the branches; and finally and fundamentally the careless and corrupt use of its funds by the “ring” of District of Columbia trustees and officials. The Freedmen’s Bank had a fine field and according to expert opinion could have survived all other troubles had it not been for the lack of honesty on the part of those who for a time controlled its management at Washington. Like so many other enterprises throughout the United States during that period it fell a prey to the general corruption that prevailed during the Reconstruction period.? * Bruce Report, pp. 248, 249, 273, 274; Douglas Report, p. 17; Cong.
