Answer:
D. Many Palestinians became refugees living in camps in Syria and Lebanon.
Explanation:
The United Nations passed a resolution calling for the creation of two states in the former British Mandate of Palestine, one Arab state and a Jewish state. The Arabs rejected the resolution but the Jews accepted it and proclaimed the state of Israel in May 1948. Refusing to accept Israel´s existence, Arab armies from Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan attacked the state of Israel. The Israelis prevailed and defeated all their enemies. It was the First Arab-Israeli War.
Israelis call it the War of Independence and the Palestinians call it the Catastrophe or Nakba. Millions of Palestinians were displaced and had to run to neighboring countries, living for decades in refugee camps. They have never been able to return to their old homes.
The correct answer is C) the Reconstruction Era.
Indeed, during the Reconstruction Era (1863-1877); white Southerners were especially aggravated and oppose to the occupation of the South by the Union army, the enfranchisement of African-American citizens and the election of African Americans to positions of political power that gave them ascendancy over white southerners. The Democrats had not won an election during 20 years and back then, the Democratic party, notably its southern Bourbon Democrat component was the party of slavery, racial discrimination and social (and later legal) discrimination towards black Americans.
The 1876 presidential elections saw Republican Candidate Rutherford Hayes oppose Northern Democrat Samuel Tilden for the office of POTUS. Tilden won the popular vote as well as the electoral vote but the fact was that four states in the South had inconclusive results due to death threats and intimidation towards African American voters who always voted Republican.
There was a constitutional crisis and southerners were threatening with armed insurrection if Hayes was sworn in as POTUS. During meetings behind closed doors, a deal was struck. Democrats accepted Hayes as president and in exchange occupation Union troops were withdrawn from the South, leaving southern African Americans vulnerable to reprisals, discrimination, social segregation and subjugation by Southern white democrats. This was called the 1877 Compromise which effectively ended the Reconstruction Era. This situation is the one described by this cartoon. Tilden was not sworn in as president and the blood of another southern insurrection was not spilled.
