The correct answer is the second option.
On January 8, 1918, Democratic President Woodrow Wilson of the United States presented his Fourteen Point program to end World War I (1914-1918). Wilson's proposal systematized his ideas already made public in April 1917, before the United States went to war. It advocated a “peace without winners or losers” that guaranteed “making the world safe for democracy”. He argued that if the self-determination of the great nations were the basis for peace, then that would be the last conflict, "a war to end all wars."
Answer:
The issue of slavery in the southern states, and the fear of a war starting with Mexico were two reasons.
Explanation:
Martin Van Buren did not want to upset either the Northerners or Southerners by admitting Texas into the Union, because then the decision would have to be made about whether to allow slavery in Texas which would throw off the balance of slave and free states. Also, Van Buren worried that Mexico would declare war if Texas was taken from them.
Answer:
In political, economic and national terms.
Explanation:
The examples of national unity in this war are manifested to defend the interests of American merchants. Britain was economically weakened by the wars against France, so they often plundered the goods of American merchants. Even more insulting to the Americans was the fact that from their ships the British abducted sailors and put them under their control. The US authorities wanted to protect their citizens so that they would soon declare war on the British to defend and protect national pride and interests.
On the other hand, some politicians did not want war. These were mostly those from New England, the bankers to whom the war could do a lot of damage. Part of the politicians who advocated the war, apart from defending national interests in the war, saw an opportunity to expand their possessions. So through this example, we can look at the context of political and national disagreement.
The Transcontinental Railroad was also instrumental in putting thousands of people to work, and also they were instrumental in transporting cattle and resources in much more efficient ways.
