Praxis II Citizenship

Answer: D - The Bonus Expeditionary Force march on Washington in 1932 to get back pay owed to World War I veterans. The Bonus Army consisted of approximately 43,000 marchers-veterans, their spouses, families and related activist groups. They marched on Washington and camped on the Washington Mall in a demonstration to demand that their service certificates be honored, but they were ultimately unsuccessful. The government, under President Herbert Hoover and military officials Douglas MacArthur and George Patton, even used force to disperse the activists, resulting in four deaths.
