107548
The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, popularly known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was an agency of the government of the United States that was formed to aid distressed refugees of the United States Civil War, including former slaves and poor white farmers. The Bureau also controlled confiscated lands or property in the former Confederate States, some border states, the District of Columbia and Indian Territory. The Bureau was established on March 3, 1865 by the United States Congress and administered by the United States Department of War, and headed by Union general Oliver O. Howard. Its main purpose was to help the newly-freed former slaves acquire a rudimentary education and an opportunity to learn job skills outside manual labor. Most importantly, it provided a base for political mobilization, which opponents strongly resented. It was one of the least popular of all Reconstruction measures (especially in the South) and was one of the first to be abolished.

The CIA is the offspring of the OSS. After WWII, the commandos that worked with partisans, were split into two groups: CIA; handling foreign espionage, and Airborne Rangers; conducting combat operations. Special Forces work the gray area in between.\n\nThe FBI was set up to fight gangsters, and other professional criminals that worked nationwide, during the depression. It is just as covert as the CIA.\n\nThe two work a lot like MI5 and MI6, in England.\n\nWhich one of you two ladies is foreign, and which is domestic?

There's one I know about from an episode of "South Park" I thought it was just something they made up but then I found out it is a real organization.... NAMBLA  which stands for North American Man-Boy Love Association.... can you believe that?\nEven Pederasts have a support group.

G-Man is an old fashioned term to talk about some one in the FBI.  Now days people use it in a broader sense and sometimes mean anyone who works for the government.

It is not likely that there is such a place. these people are in Govt service and currently operate as a naval police force. It is unlikely that their identities would be made public.

Sorry -- Long Answer:\n\nThe Bureau of ATF  -- Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (now called BATFE) was started as part of the Treasury Department at the end of Prohibition. Those were the guys who were assigned to bust the stills of the moonshiners. At the end of Prohibition, the distillers were legal again and the 'revenuers' needed something to do. So their department expanded into firearms regulation. \n\nAlcohol and tobacco have been highly taxed since before the Colonies became the United States. Government regulation of alcohol nearly broke apart the young country. Ever hear of the Whiskey Rebellion? Washington himself had to put that one down.  http://www.whiskeyrebellion.org/\n\nThis semi-historical novel by John Ross tells a lot about the history of the BATF  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unintended_Consequences\nThe book is a great read (though somewhat rude). Chances are good that there is a copy in your public library.\n\n\nThe National Rifle Association was started right after the Great War Between the States. Union Generals Burnside and Wingate, some of the founders, saw fist hand that the southern boys could shoot the Yankee city boys to pieces any time they liked. Those Generals knew that for America to be defended properly she would need skilled riflemen. They formed a society that would promote safe and accurate use of firearms.  http://www.nrahq.org/history.asp\n\nFor over a hundred years, the NRA faithfully helped protect America by promoting marksmanship skills. Somehow, in the last 30 years, some elites came to believe that our own honest citizens could no longer be trusted with knowing the difference between right and wrong, knowing when to shoot and when not to shoot. Therefore, the NRA changed its focus from simply sponsoring matches and classes, to encouraging members to remind legislators that the common man is still a good guy.  \n\nThat radical, Thomas Jefferson said that, ' . . the Tree of Liberty must oftimes be manured with the blood of patriots and tyrants.' Some of us are here for the long haul. When the need arises, we will already be prepared.\n\nBy the way, I am a Firearms Instructor, certified by the NRA. \n\nKeep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction!\n\nLeigh\nPortland\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

From http://education.ucdavis.edu/NEW/STC/lesson/socstud/railroad/Whatis.htm\n\n"No one knows exactly when it started, but there were certainly isolated cases of help given to runaways as early as the 1700s. By the early 19th century, there were organized flights to freedom."\n\nFrom http://www.nps.gov/undergroundrr/ugsum.htm\n\n"It was a clandestine operation that began during the colonial period, later became part of organized abolitionist activity in the 19th century, and reached its peak in the period 1830 - 1865. The story of the Underground Railroad is one of individual sacrifice and heroism in the efforts of enslaved people to reach freedom from bondage."
