The Freedmen's Bureau:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Freedmen's Bureau made notable achievements in improving African-American education and health care. While the bureau did distribute some land to former slaves, it was not enough for every family and was not a major focus of its efforts. The bureau also faced challenges due to lack of funding and resistance from southern white communities, but it still was able to provide significant support to newly freed slaves in this regard. The first choice is incorrect - while O. O. Howard's lack of military experience may have posed some challenges, there were many other factors that contributed to the bureau's successes and failures. The second choice is also incorrect - while the bureau did occasionally support planters in disputes with former slaves, this was not a consistent or major focus of its activities, and the bureau's overall mission was to support African-American freedom and equality.
