The political views of the leaders of the South were much different to those of the leaders of the North. The prime reason for dispute being the slavery, with the North being against slavery, and the South being pro-slavery.
England was much closer in its political views with the North, especially with the issue of the slavery, as England was also propagating for the abolishing of the slavery. Because of this, when it came time for choosing sides, England choose the side with which it had more common things, or rather with the side that was on the same political frequency with it.
The Paris Peace Conference was a meeting between the Allied Powers on how to handle the end of World War I. In this meeting, the three most influential voices were France, Great Britain, and the United States. All three different countries had unique ideas on what should happen to Germany after World War I.
The United States did not want to financially punish Germany.
The British did want to punish Germany financially. However, they wanted them strong enough to still be able to trade.
France however, wanted Germany to pay for all the damage caused during World War I. France was one of the countries that suffered the most damage from this war, hence why they were so insistent on Germany paying the price for the war.
In the end, Germany is forced to pay over $100 billion in damages for World War I and were forced to take responsibility for starting the war. This plan most accurately reflected France's idea on how to punish the Germans.
