1) b. To assist the former slaves with education, food, and shelter.
The Freedmen’s Bureau (1865) provided food, housing, medical aid, schooling, legal help and labor contracts for freedpeople and destitute Southerners.

2) c. To forgive and reinstate the South as quickly as possible.
Lincoln’s 10% Plan emphasized lenient, rapid reunification — minimal requirements for states to rejoin the Union (and the end of slavery) rather than harsh punishment.
