I'm sorry for any confusion. You are correct that the boll weevil infestation led to the Great Migration of sharecroppers, which is not listed as an option in the question. The correct answer to the given options is D) The Great Depression, as the infestation contributed to the economic hardships suffered during that time period.
To determine which major event the boll weevil infestation of the cotton fields in the late 1910s was one of the reasons for, let's analyze the options provided.
A) The Atlanta Race Riot of 1906: The Atlanta Race Riot of 1906 was a racially motivated conflict in Atlanta. It occurred several years before the boll weevil infestation, making it unlikely that the infestation was one of the reasons for this event.
B) The Civil Rights Movement: The Civil Rights Movement refers to the struggle for racial equality and social justice that took place primarily from the 1950s to the 1960s. The boll weevil infestation occurred much earlier, so it is unlikely that it was a significant factor in sparking the Civil Rights Movement.
C) The new cotton expositions in Atlanta: While the boll weevil infestation did impact Georgia's cotton production, it did not directly lead to new cotton expositions in Atlanta. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be the correct answer.
D) The Great Depression: The Great Depression was a severe economic downturn that began in 1929, a few years after the boll weevil infestation. While the infestation may have contributed to the economic challenges faced by farmers during the Great Depression, it may not have been the major reason for this event.
Considering the given options, none of them explicitly mention the Great Migration of sharecroppers, which was indeed a significant result of the boll weevil infestation. Given this, it seems that the provided options do not include the correct answer.
