The correct answer is B) the Freedmen's Bureau.

The agency that was created by the United States Congress in 1865 to set up schools and churches, supply food and clothing, and solve employment issues for former slaves was the Freedmen's Bureau.

The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, better known as the Freedmen's Bureau, was established in 1865 by the Congress of the United States. This Bureau provided help, food, legal assistance, medical aid, and housing to poor white and black people in the Southern states after the Civil War. So yes, the agency that was created by the United States Congress in 1865 to set up schools and churches, supply food and clothing, and solve employment issues for former slaves was the Freedmen's Bureau.

the captain of a steam ship naturally chooses the shortest route to his destination. since a sailing ship is usually pushed by winds and currents, its captain must find a route where the wind will probably blow in the right direction. tacking, i.e. using contrary wind to pull (sic) the sails, was always possible but wasted time because of the zigzagging required, and this would significantly delay long voyages. the early european explorers were not only looking for new lands. they also had to discover the pattern of winds and currents that would carry them where they wanted to go. during the age of sail winds and currents determined trade routes and therefore influenced european imperialism and modern political geography. for an outline to the main wind systems see global wind patterns.

pilotage or cabotage, in one sense, is the art of sailing along the coast using known landmarks. navigation, in one sense, is the art of sailing long distances out of sight of land.[1] although the polynesians were able to sail the pacific (with great difficulty) and people regularly sailed north and south across the mediterranean, before the time of columbus nearly all sailing was coastal pilotage
