Answer 1

The Answer is (B) They served only in segregated units.

Answer 2

Answer: African Americans served only in segregated units.

African American people have participated in every war in American history. However, they often did so in segregated units, or in an unrecognized way. During WWI, the U. S. armed forces were still segregated. However, many African Americans volunteered. It is calculated that around 350,000 African Americans served on the Western Front. However, most African Americans participated in support roles without seeing combat.
