Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each group's role during Reconstruction:

1. “This group resisted the goals of Reconstruction.”

• Freedmen’s Bureau supported Reconstruction.
• Ku Klux Klan (KKK) opposed Reconstruction (e.g., through violence against Black people and Republicans).

→ Check: Ku Klux Klan.

2. “This group operated in the former Confederacy after the Civil War.”

• Freedmen’s Bureau worked in the South (former Confederacy) to aid freedpeople.
• KKK also operated in the former Confederacy to enforce white supremacy.

→ Check: Both (Freedmen’s Bureau, Ku Klux Klan).

3. “This group supported the goals of Reconstruction.”

• Freedmen’s Bureau’s goals (aid freedpeople, promote equality) aligned with Reconstruction.
• KKK opposed Reconstruction.

→ Check: Freedmen’s Bureau.

4. “This group supported formerly enslaved people’s transition to freedom.”

• Freedmen’s Bureau provided resources (food, education, legal help) for freedpeople’s transition.
• KKK sought to limit freedpeople’s rights.

→ Check: Freedmen’s Bureau.

5. “This group wanted to restrict formerly enslaved people’s rights.”

• KKK used terror to restrict Black rights (e.g., voting, employment, mobility).
• Freedmen’s Bureau worked to expand freedpeople’s rights.

→ Check: Ku Klux Klan.

6. “Scalawags would most likely have supported this group.”

• Scalawags (Southern white Republicans) supported Reconstruction.
• Freedmen’s Bureau supported Reconstruction; KKK opposed it.

→ Check: Freedmen’s Bureau.
