At the beginning of the Great War, the United States were trading with Great Britain. Eventually the United States said that they wouldn't help any belligerent in the war, but still somewhat discreetly traded with Great Britain and gave them weapons. It wasn't until I believe the Zimmerman Telegram that was supposedly sent from Germany to Mexico where Germany was asking Mexico to go to war with the United States to reclaim their lost land and stall any United States advance into Europe, that the United States got involved in the war. The Zimmerman Telegram is a widely disputed issue in the realm of WW1. As for your original question though, I believe the correct answer is they were trading profitably with Great Britain. Hope this helped!
The life for a young apprentice in colonial days was hard because he works with his master to learn trade. I also want to be an apprentice because this job gives me a lot of knowledge for the trade and I gain this knowledge from my master and this job helps me to better my economic condition and support my family so that's why I want to be an apprentice.
Everybody, including the president, must follow the law and it will be equally enforced to all persons. No matter if they are a high ranking government official.
Because they were being governed by an unjustly government who used their powers to an abusive extent from over taxations to not caring about what the colonists wanted.
