Question

1. what resulted in african american soldiers being accepted into the armed services?○ the emancipation proclamation○ the battle of antietam○ the militia act○ the 54th massachusetts regiment

Explanation:

The Militia Act of 1862 explicitly authorized the enrollment of African American men into the U.S. armed services during the Civil War, removing formal barriers to their participation. The Emancipation Proclamation allowed for Black enlistment as part of its war measures but the Militia Act was the direct legislative action enabling their acceptance. The Battle of Antietam was a key battle that preceded the Emancipation Proclamation, and the 54th Massachusetts Regiment was one of the first prominent Black regiments formed after the policy change, not the cause of the policy itself.

Answer:

the Militia Act
