Finally, on March 21, 1867, the&nbsp;<b>Committee on Education and Labor</b>&nbsp;was founded following the end of the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Civil War</a>&nbsp;and during the rapid industrialization of America. On December 19, 1883, the committee was divided into two, the&nbsp;<b>Committee on Education</b>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<b>Committee on Labor</b>. The committees again merged on January 2, 1947, after the passage of the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legislative_Reorganization_Act_of_1946" title="Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;">Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946</a>, becoming the Committee on Education and Labor again.
