Impact of Reconstruction

Question 6 • DRHS GA-GSE US History A

What was the primary purpose of the Freedmen’s Bureau?

Answer
A
to find employment for all free African Americans
B
to help the South develop a new type of economy
C
to help newly freed African Americans adjust to freedom

Explanation

The Freedmen’s Bureau was created after the Civil War to assist formerly enslaved people as they began life in freedom. It provided support such as education, food, medical care, and help with labor and legal matters. Its primary purpose was therefore to help newly freed African Americans adjust to freedom, not to find jobs for every free African American or redesign the Southern economy.
