Answer:

The correct answer is: True.

Explanation:

A 1947 report by the Truman administration, entitled "To Guarantee These Rights," presented a detailed ten-point agenda with civil rights reforms. In February 1948, the president presented a civil rights agenda to Congress, in which he proposed the creation of several federal offices dedicated to issues such as voting rights and fair employment practices.

Instead of addressing civil rights, in a case-by-case need, Truman wanted to address civil rights at the national level. Truman prepared three executive orders that eventually became a structure for future civil rights legislation. The first executive order was Executive Order 9981 in 1948, it is generally known as the act that initiated racial desegregation in the Armed Forces.

Truman ran a considerable political risk with his support for civil rights, and many veteran Democrats worried that the loss of support could undo the Democratic Party. The fear seemed well justified, since Strom Thurmond announced his candidacy for the presidency and led numerous revolts in the southern states, proclaiming the rights of the defenders. This rightist rebellion was accompanied by a leftist revolt, led by former Vice President Henry A. Wallace as the presidential candidate of the Progressive Party.

What is the difference between civil rights and civil liberties?
wolverine [178]
“Civil rights refers to two related but different terms. In civil law jurisdictions, a civil right is a right or power which can be exercised under civil law, which includes things such as the ability to contract. In civil law jurisdictions, lawsuits between private parties for things such as breach of contract or a tort are usually expressed in terms of infringement of a civil right. For example, Article 2 of the Contract Law of the People's Republic of China defines a contract as "an agreement establishing, modifying and terminating the civil rights and obligations between subjects of equal footing". 
In common law jurisdiction, the term civil right is distinguished from "human rights" or "natural rights". Civil rights are rights that are bestowed by nations on those within their territorial boundaries, while natural or human rights are rights that many scholars claim that individuals have by nature of being born. For example, the philosopher John Locke (1632–1704) argued that the natural rights of life, liberty and property should be converted into civil rights and protected by the sovereign state as an aspect of the social contract. Others have argued that people acquire rights as an inalienable gift from a deity (such as God) or at a time of nature before governments were formed 

“Civil liberties are freedoms that protect the individual from government to a certain extent. Civil liberties set limits for government so that it cannot abuse its power and interfere with the lives of its citizens.” 
“Common civil liberties include freedom of association, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech, and additionally, the right to due process, to fair trial, to own property and to privacy. 
The formal concept of civil liberties dates back to the Magna Carta of 1215 which in turn was based on pre-existing documents.”
