Question

What was the purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. The purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau was to help newly freed slaves establish schools and settle disputes.

The Freedmen's Bureau was an agency of the United States Federal Government whose purpose was to assist refugees affected by the American Civil War.

This office instituted day-to-day duties, providing daily rations and clothing to former slaves who had no money. It also built schools and churches, and trained teachers to teach in schools. Thus, 4,000 schools were built, as well as an university in Atlanta.
