Answer 1

The correct answer is B) the Freedmen's Bureau.

The agency that was created by the United States Congress in 1865 to set up schools and churches, supply food and clothing, and solve employment issues for former slaves was the Freedmen's Bureau.

The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, better known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was established in 1865 by the Congress of the United States. This Bureau provided help, food, legal assistance, medical aid, and housing to poor white and black people in the Southern states after the Civil War. So yes, the agency that was created by the United States Congress in 1865 to set up schools and churches, supply food and clothing, and solve employment issues for former slaves was the Freedmen's Bureau.

Answer 2

Well, it's not the Ku Klux Klan, as that was a large group of people who wanted to have slaves all return to their work, I've never heard of C, and we barely touched on D in school. From what I've learned, however, the Freedmen's Bureau helped former slaves by supplying food, providing education and homes, etc.
