(A British ship used to ferry goods called the Lusitania
was attacked by a German u-boat or submarine The Lusitania had 1,949 people on board 1,313 died including 128 Americans)- this is important to know.

The U.S president Wilson wanted Neutrality-
“the state of not supporting or helping either side in a conflict,” To that end he sent a leading aide, Colonel House, to Europe in the autumn of 1914 in an attempt to broker a peace deal all Wilson wanted was peace.

We could’ve had peace but for one thing this war was fought on water and not just land Shipping lanes were patrolled and attacked by German U-Boats in an attempt to cut supply lines to Britain Following its policy of neutrality the United States initially attempted to trade with both Britain and its allies as well as with Germany. However, in practice (: the United States was only able to trade with Britain and its allies :) and all the goods sold (the value of which amounted to $1.2 billion by 1916) had to be transported by ship across the Atlantic. (: The German habit of attacking shipping meant that American registered ships were sunk, and United States citizens were killed (128 died when the Lusitania was sunk) :) - See told it was important

Last but not least the Zimmermann Telegram

“By the start of 1917 Germany was looking for additional allies. On 16 January 1917, the German Foreign Minister, Arthur Zimmerman, sent a telegram to Mexico. In return for Mexico starting a war against the United States, Germany promised to pay all associated costs. The inflammatory telegram was intercepted by the British who, in turn, passed it to Washington. The telegram was released to the press on 28 February and published. How genuine Zimmerman’s offer to Mexico was is hard to say, but the telegram had a pronounced effect on turning American public opinion against Germany.”

How did the Supreme Court erode (destroy) the rights of African Americans?
Anton [14]
After the Civil War, 4 million former slaves were looking for social equality and economic opportunity. It wasn't clear initially whether they would enjoy full-fledged citizenship or would be subjugated by the white population.

In the 1860s, it was the Republican Party in Washington — the home of former abolitionists — that sought to grant legal rights and social equality to African-Americans in the South. The Republicans — then dubbed radical Republicans — managed to enact a series of constitutional amendments and reconstruction acts granting legal equality to former slaves — and giving them access to federal courts if their rights were violated.

The 13th Amendment, which was ratified in 1865, abolished slavery. Three years later, the 14th Amendment provided blacks with citizenship and equal protection under the law. And in 1870, the 15th Amendment gave black American males the right to vote.

Five years later, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, a groundbreaking federal law proposed by Republican Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, which guaranteed that everyone in the United States was "entitled to the full and equal enjoyment" of public accommodations and facilities regardless of race or skin color.
