The correct answer is C) establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau.
The acts by Congress that were intended to prevent this repressive social and political order were the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau.
In a time of ecom¿nomic problems and political instability, the Freedmen's Bureau was a real help for former black slaves and poor white people that lived in the south and practically had nothing after the conclusion of the American Civil War.
The US Congress approved the establishment of the Freedmen's Bureau in 1865 to assist these people with medical attention, food, shelter, and education. Unfortunately, there was not enough money to accomplish these, besides the political "climate" in the racist's southern states never accepted this Freedmen's Bureau.
The second answer would have to be correct, because I believe this is focused on the Paleolithic Era.
The answer to your question is A. I hope this helps
Answer: Development as an excuse for imperialism.
Explanation:
Proponents of imperialism sought to justify their imperialist aspirations. Developed and powerful countries have always carried out imperialism over those who have not reached that development stage. Imperialism has always aimed to enrich itself at the expense of others. Yet to defend their aspirations, the imperialists have always pointed out that their main aim is to contribute to these underdeveloped countries' development. The construction of the infrastructure was a cover for that. Still, the real goal of constructing the infrastructure was to make it easier to transport exploited raw materials from third countries.
