The correct answers are C) Between 25 and 40 African American citizens were killed and D) Thousands of white citizens formed mobs and rioted.
The statements about the 1906 riots in Atlanta that are true are the following:
Between 25 and 40 African American citizens were killed
Thousands of white citizens formed mobs and rioted.
In September of 1906, the white population in Atlanta, Georgia felt the pressure of an increasing number of black people in the city. White people thought that African Americans represent a threat in many aspects of society, including the fact that black people took jobs that whites believe were just for them.
So from September 22 to September 24, white people organized riots in Atlanta, killed and hurt African Americans, and destroyed public and private property. The main reason for these mobs, according to white people, was that some blacks had assaulted white women.
