Answer:
C. It forbade discrimination by race in defense industries.
Explanation:
Executive Order 9981 issued by President Harry S. Truman on July 26, 1948, abolished discrimination "on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin" in the U.S. military. It led to the end of segregation in the military during the Korean War (1950-1953).
More generally, this means that a country declares itself to be on NEITHER side of some conflict.
Some historical examples were the US in 1793 when it declared itself neutral in the conflict between France and Great Britain
The correct answer is C) A slave was not a citizen but rather the property of an owner.
The Dred Scott vs. Sandford case revolved around the claims of Dred Scott, a black man who was a slave. This man argued that he should be free, as his owner brought him into the Illnois territory were slavery was prohibited. Essentially, Scott argued that his living in this territory should make him free.
However, the Supreme Court ruled against Scott. The majority opinion discussed how slaves are property and that they have no rights in which white men need to respect. This controversial case caused a huge division in American society.
