Moral diplomacy was a major tool for the United States to pursue its economic interests abroad.
In the end, moral diplomacy increased the U.S.'s direct military action in many countries and also greatly impacted the economy by manipulating situations in countries that were not democratic or those that held what Wilson viewed as morally corrupt values.
According to my point of view, the main purpose of government is to establish a secure system to maintain liberty and livelihood, make sure people are getting enough money to liver better and above poverty line.
Because, if people are secure and have liberty but government is not doing anything about that. people are not survive and it will lead to disruption.
The commanding general and his troops were overly confident of victory and took foolhardy chances in battle.
