Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1977, one day after his inauguration, President Jimmy Carter fulfilled a campaign promise by offering pardons to anyone who had evaded the draft and requested one.

No, it is false that Carter issued a full pardon for all who had run from the draft during the Vietnam War, since some in fact were not pardoned--those who "dodged" the draft through acts of violence.
