Answer 1

D) to help formerly enslaved people adjust to freedom in the south

Step-by-step explanation:

Freedmen's Bureau was enacted during the Reconstruction period after the American Civil War.

The popular name for the U.S. Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, established by Congress to provide practical aid to 4,000,000 newly freed African Americans in their transition from slavery to freedom.

The Freedmen's Bureau was intended to act as a primitive welfare agency, aiming to ease the transition from slavery to freedom.

The Freedmen's Bureau provided food, housing and medical aid, established schools and offered legal assistance. It also attempted to settle former slaves on land confiscated or abandoned during the war.
