Which statement best compares the methods of the Freedmen’s Bureau and the Ku Klux Klan?

Answer

Both groups used voting, politics, and the government to achieve their goals.

Both groups used violence to make people afraid and to oppress certain citizens.

The Freedmen’s Bureau worked to help people, while the Ku Klux Klan worked to harm them.

The Freedmen’s Bureau tried to achieve its goals politically, while the Ku Klux Klan tried to achieve its goals socially.

Explanation

The Freedmen’s Bureau provided assistance to formerly enslaved people and others after the Civil War, including help with education, work, and basic needs. The Ku Klux Klan used threats and violence to terrorize Black people and undermine their rights. So the best comparison is that the Bureau worked to help people, while the Klan worked to harm them.
