Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context of the KKK, White League, and Reconstruction - era cartoon:

Upper Part (Goals of KKK/White League):

1. The KKK and White League figures are likely back - to - back (showing unity in their cause).
2. The phrase “The Union as it was. This is a white man's government” and their aim to oppose Reconstruction means they wanted to end Reconstruction (to restore white control).
3. The figures are likely depicted with weapons (to show their violent means to achieve goals).

Lower Part (Consequences of Violence):

1. The family in the center is a Black family (as the violence was against Black Americans during Reconstruction).
2. To the left (or “side”) of them is a lynched person (depicting violence), and to the right is the “SCHOOL HOUSE” sign (blocking education).
3. The “Worse than slavery” text shows the terror faced by Black people during Reconstruction.

Filling the Blanks (Key Selections):

• First dropdown (figures’ position): back - to - back
• Action on Reconstruction: end (or “oppose”)
• Figures’ depiction: armed (or with “weapons”)
• Family’s race: Black
• Position of lynched person: left (example, context - dependent)
• Position of school sign: right (example, context - dependent)
• Who faced terror: Black people

(Note: Exact word choices depend on the dropdown options provided, but the above is the historical context - based reasoning.)

For the first visible dropdown (figures’ position), the answer is: back - to - back
