After World War I, the relationships between African Americans and white Americans were complex and often strained. Among the options provided, the most accurate statements are:
1. **There was an increase in African Americans in the workforce.** - The Great Migration led many African Americans to move to northern cities for jobs in factories and other industries, particularly during and after the war.
2. **There were race riots in cities around the country.** - This period saw significant racial tensions, leading to riots in cities such as Chicago and Tulsa as African Americans pushed for their rights and faced violent backlash from white residents.
The statement about a new equality existing and African Americans being forced back into slavery do not accurately reflect the post-war reality. Although there were gains in civil rights activism and a desire for equality, systemic racism and segregation persisted, and there was no return to slavery.
In conclusion, the most representative options regarding the post-war relationships would be the increase in workforce participation and the occurrence of race riots.
