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

The Freedmen's Bureau (or Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands) was a government agency established after the Civil War. Its mission was to help former black slaves and poor whites in the South.

The bureau was chronically underfunded and understaffed. Moreover, its employees were subject to the politics of the time, ridicule and harassment from whites. However, it did help alleviate problems such as lack of food, housing and medical aid. It also helped establish hospitals and schools, and tried to promote land redistribution. Regardless of its accomplishments, it eventually failed to bring long-lasting unity and understanding between the races.
