In 1865, Southern

• whites quickly admitted they had been wrong in trying to secede and win Southern independence.

• whites rapidly turned their slaves into paid employees.

• blacks uniformly turned in anger and revenge against their former masters.

• blacks often began traveling to test their freedom, search for family members, and seek economic opportunity.

The "Exodusters" westward mass migration to Kansas finally faltered when

• homesteading on the Great Plains proved more difficult than expected.

• the Fifteenth Amendment was passed.

The greatest achievements of the Freedmen's Bureau were in

• its distribution of land.

The white South viewed the Freemen's Bureau as

• an agency acceptable only because it also helped poor whites.

• a valued partner in rebuilding the South.

• more helpful in the North than the South.

• a threat to state social services agencies.

In President Andrew Johnson's view, the Freedmen's Bureau was

• a valuable agency.
