to help and to hurt; the birth of the freedman’s bureau and the ku klux klan
during the reconstruction period, two organizations emerged that would have an impact on the newly freed slaves. the freedmen’s bureau was designed to give freedmen and poor whites an economic boost and an opportunity to learn to read and write through formal education. on the other hand, the ku klux klan (kkk) terrorized freedmen through violence and intimidation. by burning schools and intimidating freedmen, the kkk was at odds with the economic and social improvement desired by the freedmen’s bureau.
freedmen’ bureau-with the emancipation proclamation the slaves that lived in the confederate states were declared free. this meant that georgia could no longer rely on the labor of slaves to grow its cotton. this also meant that the people who were once enslaved were in desperate need of food and shelter. seeing the struggle of the southern black population and the poor whites an organization was created to provide aid to those struggling. an organization, called the freedmen’s bureau was established by the government in 1865 to support struggling southerners. these people offered the ex-slaves clothes, food, medicine, supplies, jobs, places to live, and even created schools. before this time teaching slaves to read was forbidden in georgia as plantation owners feared that a literate slave could challenge the established social order and lead a revolt. numerous ex-slaves took advantage of the opportunity to learn to read and write.

Explanation:

To determine Lincoln’s Reconstruction features, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Lincoln's plan didn't order land return to prewar owners (Freedmen’s Bureau aimed to help freed slaves, and land distribution wasn't a key part of Lincoln's plan).
• Option b: Lincoln's Ten Percent Plan required 10% of the voting population (of the 1860 election) to take an oath of loyalty to the Union and accept emancipation to form a new state government. This matches Lincoln’s Reconstruction approach.
• Option c: Lincoln's plan was lenient; Confederate military leaders could potentially hold office if they met requirements, so this is incorrect.
• Option d: Lincoln’s plan was lenient, not punitive for the South, so this is wrong.
• Option e: Lincoln was assassinated before sending the military for long - term order; this was more of later Reconstruction, so incorrect.

For the other column (matching to Lincoln’s plan):

• Option f: Ratifying the 13th Amendment was part of Reconstruction, but not specific to Lincoln’s plan (he was assassinated, and the 13th was ratified later).
• Option g: Lincoln wanted to reunite the country quickly, but the “too forgiving” view is more about perception of leniency, not a key feature.
• Option h: Lincoln’s plan was about 10% taking an oath, not about pardoning all whites except Confederate leaders/planters.
• Option i: Lincoln’s plan offered pardons to most Confederates (except high - ranking officials), not just to non - leader/planter whites.
• Option j: The 14th and 15th Amendments were after Lincoln’s death, so not his plan.

So for Lincoln’s Reconstruction, the correct option in the first column is b (Ten percent of the voting population had to and oath) and in the second column, the one that aligns (though the second column options are a bit misaligned, but based on Lincoln’s Ten Percent Plan, the key feature is b).

Answer:

b. Ten percent of the voting population had to and oath
