If there is conflict between a free state and slave states, it's very obvious why. Slave states have people working and working everyday and night, but in free states people get to do what they would like, whenever they'd like. They would have conflict because the "slave states" want to have what the free states have. I hope this helped.
I think for this you should go against having ground troops because later on the US comes and sends 33,000 troops to help.
The best answer is, They though the US and British troops would treat them better than the Soviet troops.
As the end of World War II approached and German forces were faced with the decision to surrender or desert the war effort, which meant certain death at the hands of the SS or Gestapo, many looked for US and British forces, rather than their Soviet counterparts. During the war, German forces enacted terrible atrocities against the people and soldiers of the Soviet Union, including mass executions of civilians and military personnel. As a result, many Germans were scared of what they might face at the hands of the Soviets.
Uh... I suppose it's a suburban, densely populated area with high religious beliefs.
You're question was vague, but I hope that helps ^^;;
