Respuesta :

The correct answer is B) to help former slaves obtain food, shelter, clothing, and education.

The purpose of the Freedmen's Bureau established by Congress during Southern Reconstruction was to help former slaves obtain food, shelter, clothing, and education.

US Congress established the Freedmen's Bureau in 1865, after the end of the American Civil War. Its purpose was to help poor former slaves and white people that lived under harsh economic circumstances. The Bureau offered them legal assistance, medical attention, shelter, and food. This was a good idea. Unfortunately, there were not enough funds to really help this number of people.
