B.

On September 8, 1900, a Category 4 hurricane ripped through Galveston, Texas, killing an estimated 6,000 to 8,000 people. At the time of the 1900 hurricane, Galveston, nicknamed the Oleander City, was filled with vacationers. Sophisticated weather forecasting technology didn’t exist at the time, but the U.S. Weather Bureau issued warnings telling people to move to higher ground. However, these advisories were ignored by many vacationers and residents alike. A 15-foot storm surge flooded the city, which was then situated at less than 9 feet above sea level, and numerous homes and buildings were destroyed. The hurricane remains the worst weather-related disaster in U.S. history in terms of loss of life.

Ira Lisetskai [31]
<span>The answer is D.  Though blacks were treated equally in the North, the South continued to be segregated.  Despite the abolition of slavery, blacks were afforded the same opportunities as whites .  Many of them were also harassed by mobs of white raiders in order to keep them from voting as well assert their superiority over blacks.  Blacks couldn’t sit at the same table as whites nor could they dine at the same restaurants as whites.  It took another hundred years for blacks to finally be accepted in the South.</span>
