True or false the Wade and ndashDavis Bill granted the franchise to black Americans?

False. The Wade-Davis Bill, proposed in 1864 during the American Civil War, aimed to establish stricter requirements for Southern states to rejoin the Union. While it called for the majority of white male citizens in a state to take an "ironclad" oath of loyalty, it did not specifically grant the franchise to black Americans. In fact, it focused primarily on the rights of white citizens.
