Question

Which of these statements about the Freedmen's

Answer 1

Answer:

B. It faced a great deal of opposition.

And

D. It failed in most of its efforts

Explanation:

The Freedmen's Bureau provided food, housing and medical aid, established schools and offered legal assistance. It also attempted to settle former slaves on land confiscated or abandoned during the war.

lack of funding, coupled with the politics of race and Reconstruction, meant that the bureau was not able to carry out all of its initiatives, and it failed to provide long-term protection for blacks or ensure any real measure of racial equality.

Its failures were the result of bad local agents, inherent difficulties of the work, and national neglect … The most bitter attacks on the Freedmen's Bureau were aimed not so much at its conduct or policy under the law as at the necessity for any such organization at all.

The battle to establish the Freedmen's Bureau, and then to extend the legislation one year later, was a major factor in the struggle between President Andrew Johnson and Radical Republicans in Congress
