Question 6 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

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

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

Explanation

Most African American military units served in segregated forces, and the military generally restricted them to support and service work rather than combat assignments. Some African American units did see combat, so the statement means they were largely kept from combat roles, not completely barred from them. The correct choice is “They were kept from combat roles.”
