1. which of the following is not an accurate statement about the bonus army?

douglas macarthur ordered soldiers to burn the bonus army’s shantytown.
the bonus army refused to leave their shantytown on the anacostia river.
the bonus army was made up of homeless world war ii veterans.

Explanation:

The Bonus Army was composed of World War I veterans (not World War II) who were seeking early payment of their service bonuses during the Great Depression. Douglas MacArthur did order the burning of their shantytown, and they refused to leave the Anacostia River shantytown. So the inaccurate statement is about the veterans being from WWII.

Answer:

The Bonus Army was made up of homeless World War II veterans.
