Question 18 • (AG Q4) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

Which best describes the goal of the Freedmen’s Bureau?

Answer
A
to relocate all formerly enslaved people to urban areas in the North
B
to stop scalawags from taking advantage of African Americans
C
to give land formerly owned by whites to African American farmers
D
to help formerly enslaved people adjust to freedom in the South

Explanation

The Freedmen’s Bureau was established after the Civil War to assist formerly enslaved people as they adjusted to freedom, especially in the South. It provided support such as education, help finding work, and assistance with basic needs. It did not relocate everyone to the North or generally distribute former white-owned land to African American farmers, so the best choice is “to help formerly enslaved people adjust to freedom in the South.”
