"Memphis had been relatively epidemic-free until the yellow fever struck in 1878-79" is FALSE.

Option: A

Explanation:

In the 1870s, Memphis was ravaged by a wave of yellow fever epidemics, with sea-passengers bringing the infection along waterways. In the original death registry between 26 of July and 27th November, nearly more than five thousand individuals were reported during the Yellow Fever Epidemic, 1878.

After 1870, Memphis ' community continued to increase, even if this panic of 1873 struck the US hard, especially in the South. The panic of 1873 culminated in the expansion of the lower classes of Memphis amid the misery and deprivation caused by the crisis, giving Memphis more credence as a rugged, shiftless community.
