C IS THE ANSWER
an agreement for self- government
A group of Northern Democrats who were against the American Civil War were called the Copperheads. They were the ones who wanted to prevent the independence of American slaves. The name came from copper liberty-head coins that they wore as badges.
Correct answer: D. To help former slaves make the change to freedom
Details:
The Freedmen's Bureau was established by Congress in 1865, in the aftermath of the Civil War. The aim of the Bureau was to provide assistance to former black slaves (as well as poor whites) in the South during the Reconstruction period. The Freedmen’s Bureau provided food and housing, established schools, and made medical and legal assistance available. There was an intention of settling former slaves on land confiscated or abandoned during the war, but that didn't materialize. Radical Republicans took over dominance in Congress and they determined that confiscated lands in the South should be returned to their original owners.
I can't really answer your question (as I don't really know enough about 18th century France), but I just want to clear up an (understandable) misconception about Feudalism in your question.
The French revolution was adamant and explicit in its abolition of 'feudalism'. However, the 'feudalism' it was talking about had nothing at all to do with medieval 'feudalism' (which, of course, never existed). What the revolutionaries had in mind, in my own understanding of it, was the legally privileged position of the aristocracy/2nd estate. This type of 'feudalism' was a creation of early modern lawyers and, as a result, is better seen as a product of the early-modern monarchical nation-state, than as a precursor to it. It has nothing to do with the pre-nation-state medieval period, or with the Crusades.
Eighteenth-century buffs, feel free to chip in if I've misrepresented anything, as this is mostly coming from my readings about the historiographical development of feudalism, not any revolutionary France expertise, so I may well have misinterpreted things.
