How did World War II produce similar social effects for both African American and female workers in the United States?


A) Participation in wartime industries served as inspiration for both groups to demand more equal treatment in the following decades.

B) The rise of unions as political forces helped both groups to become more active in national political leadership.

C) Worker shortages caused by so many soldiers fighting overseas allowed both groups to win legal protection for wages equal to white men.

D) The U.S. government passed The Civil Rights and Fairness Law of 1943 that granted full protection to both groups in an effort to differentiate itself from its non-democratic enemies.
