One of the questions that became obvious during the Civil War was that of the allegiance of the "border states." The border states were those found in the are between the North and the South. These generally had close cultural attachments to the South, but were not as interested in joining the Confederacy.

Lincoln knew that such states were very important to the war, and he faced Confederate attempts to seize the border states skillfully. Lincoln approached the situation with what he called a "delicate" approach. He focused on maintaining the support of the local population. He promoted pro-Union news on the media. He also provided weapons and supplies in order to arm pro-Union, local militias. In Missouri, Lincoln was eventually forced to seize government buildings in the state capital, forcing officials to flee. All of these actions allowed Lincoln to ensure that the border states remained in the Union.

Why was the Spanish American war considered a turning point in American history
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The brief war fought against the Spanish Navy and land forces in 1898 established the United States as a global, major navy and military power.

The war was fought in Cuba - the Caribbean - and in the Pacific.  If a century before American governments were not willing to join wars among European powers and pursued a cautious diplomacy, full industrialization, territorial expansion and a fantastic growth of economic might made the United States a player in world affairs to be reckoned with a century later. That´s why the Spanish-American war is a turning point in American history: the US would play a large role in world affairs from that moment on.

3. Why did other Native American nations fight with the English, against the French, in the Seven Years War? |​
mr Goodwill [35]
This close alliance, which was based on mutual respect and good treatment from both sides, led the natives to side with the french in their conflicts with the english settlers that came later in the 1600s and into the mid 1700s. Relations between the natives and english were not nearly as good.

Hope this help you :)
