Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Militia Act mandated that African Americans be accepted into the military.

Explanation:

The Militia Act was a law passed on July 17, 1862, during the Civil War. This law allowed African-Americans to join the Union army, to fight against the Confederate army.

This law was one of the forerunners of the Emancipation Declaration, since it placed African Americans on a legal footing with respect to whites regarding obligations towards the army.

In addition, to encourage African Americans to enter the military, they were promised that once their services had ended, their freedom would be guaranteed.
