Answer 2

B. welfare agency

Step-by-step explanation:

The Freedmen’s Bureau was established in March of 1865 to help freed people achieve economic stability and secure political freedoms.

Many white Southerners, as well as President Andrew Johnson, challenged the Bureau’s legitimacy, sparking racial violence in the South and the ultimate failure of the Bureau.

The Bureau presented questions about the role of the federal government in establishing and maintaining racial and economic equality in the United States.
