The Freedmen's Bureau, was an organization established by the US Congress during the Reconstruction period in order to help former black slaves and poor whites in the South.
This organization provided free slaves with food, clothing, medicine, labor contracts and education.
The Bureau also allowed the building of thousands of schools for blacks, and helped to found colleges such as Howard University, Fisk University and Hampton University.
However, the Freedmen’s Bureau enhanced racial tension in the south since poor blacks and whites fought for resources and jobs places provided by the Bureau.
The Freedmen’s Bureau helped former slaves to legalize marriages and locate lost relatives.
Nevertheless, the US Congress which had been put under pressure from with white Southerners had to shut the Freedmen's Bureau down in 1872.

The Ku Klux Klan was an organization whose primary goal was the reestablishment of white supremacy.
The KKK carried out campaigns of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders.
The KKK spread in almost every southern state during the Reconstruction era.
The KKK used scare tactics, terror methods, violence, and murder to intimidate blacks, Republicans, members of the Freedmen’s Bureau. They also burned crosses as a way of demostrating their Christian faith.

What was the outcome of the post dam conference?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

After dividing Germany into 4 zones the three leaders decided to destroy the Nazi government and had control over things the education system in order to make sure there was no rise in Nazi doctrine and instead a rise in democratic ideas. All Nazi war criminals were to be trialed. A strong Germany might be the only obstacle in the way of Soviet domination of all of Europe. In the end, the Big Three agreed to divide Germany into three zones of occupation (one for each nation), and to defer discussions of German reunification until a later date.

Base your answer to the question on the passage below and on your knowledge of social studies.

...The document so frantically cobbled together was stunning in its sweep and simplicity. Never once mentioning king, nobility, or church, it declared the “natural, inalienable and sacred rights of man” to be the foundation of any and all government. It assigned sovereignty to the nation, not the king, and pronounced everyone equal before the law, thus opening positions to talent and merit and implicitly eliminating all privilege based on birth. More striking than any particular guarantee, however, was the universality of the claims made. References to “men,” “man,” “every man,” “all men,” “all citizens,” “each citizen,” “society,” and “every society” dwarfed the single reference to the French people....
