Answer:

<h2>The United States entered the conflict, siding with the Allied Powers against Germany.</h2>

Context/detail:

Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania, which had happened in May, 1915.  When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.

Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks.  But two years, the Germans resumed such attacks. This inflamed public opinion against Germany once again and poised America to go to war.  

In addition, British intellegence intercepted and decoded a telegram (known as the "Zimmermann Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.  The revelation of this plan inflamed feelings in the United States.  The telegram was sent in January, 1917.  In March, 1917, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann admitted the telegram was, in fact, sent by his office.

In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response to the German's submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram.

US embargo on trade--Germany used unrestricted submarine warfare in World War I as a means to cut off trade to and from Great Britain during the war. 

Because so much of the US's trade was with Great Britain and they had claimed neutrality, the US was not happy to have their trade interrupted by Germany. The continued unrestricted submarine warfare led to the US stopping trade with Germany. This gave Germany more reason to be hostile toward the US and when they decided to continue despite embargoes and warnings, they sought the alliance of Mexico in what Germany thought would be eventual war with the US. <span />

Discuss the phenomenon of Free Blacks owning slaves in antebellum times. Read the following articles. Give your opinions and the
Igoryamba

Answer:

    Free blacks throughout the antebellum period, which encompassed the years from the creation of the Union until the Civil War, were vocal in their opposition to slavery's injustice. In terms of their ability to express themselves, their location in the North or the South was a determining factor. Free Southern blacks continued to live under the shadow of slavery, unable to move or congregate as freely as those in the North, despite their freedom from slavery. Additionally, it was more difficult for them to create and maintain churches, schools, and fraternal organizations like as the Masons during this time period.

    Despite the fact that their lives were restricted by a slew of discriminatory regulations even during the colonial period, freed African Americans, particularly those living in the North, were active participants in the life of the country. Black troops served in the American Revolution and the War of 1812, and many of them were African-American. Some had land, residences, businesses, and were required to pay taxes. For brief periods of time in some Northern cities, black property owners were able to cast ballots. Slaves were owned by a very tiny number of free blacks. The slaves that the majority of free blacks purchased were relatives who were eventually manumitted by their masters. Slave holding plantations in Louisiana, Virginia, and South Carolina were owned by a small number of free blacks.
