Question 21 • US History Studies Since 1877

Which statement is true of most World War II African American military units?

Answer
A
They were forced into combat roles.
B
They were kept from combat roles.
C
They were better paid than white units.
D
They were paid the same as white units.

Explanation

Most African American military units served in segregated forces, and military leaders often assigned them support and service duties rather than frontline combat. Some African American units did see combat, so it is too broad to say they were entirely excluded, but being kept from combat roles best describes most units.
