<span>The correct answer is the last one: African American soldiers were more likely than others to serve in combat positons during the Vietnam War. In fact, statistics gathered from the time show that in 1968 although African Americans made up 12% of total Army and Marine numbers they contributed more than 50% of the front line combat troops.

Federalism is the distribution of power between a central authority and constituent units, such as the federal government in Washington DC and the states.

The correct answer is C) Racial attitudes and policies had been a part of American life for a long time and were not going to change easily.
Before slavery was made illegal thanks to the 13th amendment, there was a long history of racial segregation and racial superiority in America. From the first slaves (brought over during the early 1600's) to the end of the Civil War, many Americans were taught that African-Americans were inferior. Thanks to the Supreme Court case Dred Scott vs. Sandford, enslaved Africans were even considered property at one point in American history.
This long history of painting African-Americans as inferior was not going to change overnight. Rather, many southererns kept these types of views and passed them on from generation to generation.
