Question 2 • (AG Q4) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

What is one reason why the Ku Klux Klan targeted the Freedmen’s Bureau?

Answer
A
Klan members did not believe African Americans should be educated.
B
Klan members thought the Freedman’s Bureau was stealing from farmers.
C
Klan members were carpetbaggers who wanted to change the South.
D
Klan members wanted to stop the spread of racial violence across the South.

Explanation

The Freedmen’s Bureau helped formerly enslaved people, including by supporting schools and education. The Ku Klux Klan sought to maintain white supremacy and intimidate African Americans, so it targeted the bureau because its members opposed African American education. Choice B does not describe the main reason, and choice D reverses the Klan’s role in racial violence.
