Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

The Freeman's bureau was unsuccessful in bringing out unity and understanding of the races after civil war. it was hoped that by providing former slaves with education and occupational training, the transition from slowed to freedmen would be smooth. it wasn't but mainly because many whites both southern and non-southern resisted the changes at every turn. And remember increased trade was never a major objective of the Freeman's bureau.

The correct answer is D) It was unsuccessful in bringing about unity and understanding of the races after the Civil War.

The Freedman's Bureau was a federal government agency meant to help former slaves make a successful transition into the American economy. The goal was to help these former slaves through education and other forms of assistance. However, this failed at bringing together both races in the United States. Instead, racist ideas continued to plague the country.
