True or false: according to Executive Order 8802, in 1941 it was the policy of the United States to encourage everyone in the country to help win the war no matter who they were or where they came from

False

Explanation:

It is FALSE that according to Executive Order 8802, in 1941 it was the policy of the United States to encourage everyone in the country to help win the war no matter who they were or where they came from.

This is because Executive Order 8802 was authorized under the administration of President Franklin Roosevelt in 1941, and purposely created to eradicate racial discrimination in enlistment and employment of individuals in the U.S. defense industry. This Executive Order would later serve as a means upon which racial discrimination was also removed in the employment process in other federal government agencies, large corporations, and even smaller firms.
