The correct answers are:

  • "American troops were not ready to fight independently."
  • "Pershing never agreed to amalgamate."
  • "American lives would be saved."

General Pershing was the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces on the Western Front during World War I during the years 1917 and 1918. After initially rejecting British and French demands for the American forces to integrate with their armies, Pershing ultimately accepted to allow "all-black" units to be integrated into the French army. He understood that this would represent an advantage, as the French had a better knowledge of European territory and the amalgamation of armies would mean that less American lives would be lost.
