Question 3 • (AG Q4) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)
The Freedmen’s Bureau helped formerly enslaved people, but it faced resistance from white Southerners, President Johnson, and political conflict over Reconstruction. These conflicts limited the agency’s authority and effectiveness, so the best description is that its power was weakened by conflict and political fighting. Republicans in Congress generally supported the Bureau rather than weakening it.
