Answer 1

Correct, Evan!

Tunis Campbell (1812-1891) was a former Union soldier who served as a Freedmen's Bureau agent in Louisiana after the Civil War. Campbell was born into slavery in Georgia, but he escaped to freedom in Canada in 1838. He returned to the United States in the 1850s and became involved in the abolitionist movement. During the Civil War, Campbell served in the Union Army's 8th United States Colored Infantry Regiment.

After the war, Campbell was appointed by the Freedmen's Bureau to serve as an agent in charge of the refugee camp at Davis Bend, Mississippi. He later served as an agent in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he worked to help newly-freed African Americans establish themselves as free citizens. Campbell was also involved in politics, and he served as a delegate to the Louisiana Constitutional Convention in 1867.

Throughout his life, Campbell was a strong advocate for civil rights and equality for African Americans. He fought against racial discrimination and segregation, and he worked to improve educational opportunities for black children in Louisiana.
