Question

choose the one sentence in this excerpt that helps explain why some african american soldiers did not want to return to the united states after the war. about 370,000 african americans became soldiers in world war i (1914 - 1918), but they usually fought in segregated units. black units fought bravely alongside french soldiers. they spent time in french cities, which were largely free of the racist segregation present in much of the united states. this made coming back to the united states difficult.

Explanation:

We need to find the sentence that explains why some African American soldiers didn't want to return to the US. The sentence "They spent time in French cities, which were largely free of the racist segregation present in much of the United States." shows that French cities had less racism/segregation than the US, so returning to the US (with its segregation) was unappealing.

Answer:

They spent time in French cities, which were largely free of the racist segregation present in much of the United States.
