According to the Wade-Davis Bill, who was excluded from being able to take the oath of loyalty to gain the right to vote?

Answer
A
those who held military or civil office in the Confederacy
B
those who had enslaved labor before the war
C
those who were enslaved before the war

Explanation

The Wade-Davis Bill required a majority of a state’s white male citizens to swear they had never voluntarily supported the Confederacy. People who had held military or civil office under the Confederacy were excluded from taking this oath, so they could not qualify for voting rights under the bill. The correct choice is those who held military or civil office in the Confederacy.
