<em>A. It required men from ages 21-30 to register for the military draft.</em>
Explanation:
The Selective Service Act required men from ages of 21-30 to register for the military draft. This act was passed in 1917 and was created to get soldiers for the war effort. This was also the first peacetime draft that the United States has ever had.
As you may know, World War I was happening in 1917. The United States had joined World War I late, just a year before it ended. About a month after the United States had joined the war, the Selective Service Act was passed. This was to ensure that the United States had enough soldiers to fight if needed.
Before World War I happened, the United States did not have a big military compared to other countries. When problems started to arise and the United States finally joined World War I, the military started to expand and even the draft was created.

The correct answer is A) Governor Sam Houston fled Texas and joined the Union Army because he felt it was his duty to preserve the Union.
The FALSE statement is "Governor Sam Houston fled Texas and joined the Union Army because he felt it was his duty to preserve the Union.
What was true was that Texans viewed Abraham Lincoln’s election to the presidency as a threat to their economy, governor Sam Houston opposed secession, claiming it was unconstitutional, and the Confederate States of America created a constitution and instituted the Conscription Act.
Texans did not like the fact that Abraham Lincoln was the President of the United States. They knew what Lincoln thought and the idea of secession started to increase in the Texans public opinion. And then, it happened. Texas seceded from the Union on February 1, 1861. One month later, the state of Texas decided to join forces with the Confederate states. Texas' governor Sam Houston had refused to support the confederacy and was replaced.
