Question

question 9 of 10
which was true of the bisbee deportation?

a. the government declared the deportations legal.

b. the targeted people were forced out of america.

c. the government ignored the event.

d. mexican americans were targeted.

Explanation:

The Bisbee Deportation involved the illegal deportation of over a thousand striking miners (including Mexican Americans, but also others) from Bisbee, AZ. The government took no action against the vigilantes who carried out the deportation, effectively ignoring the event. Option A is wrong as the deportations were illegal. Option B is wrong as they were deported within the US (to NM). Option D is partially true but not the most accurate overall statement compared to C, as the key governmental response was inaction/ignoring.

Answer:

C. The government ignored the event.
