Woodrow Wilson was one of the main influences in the ending of World War I. He worked very close with the leaders of France and Great Britain in order to develop the Treaty of Versailles. In this treaty, the League of Nations was created. This idea, developed by Wilson, was supposed to be a collection of countries who worked together to keep international peace.
Even though Wilson supported it, the US Congress did not. This effort to not join the League of Nations was headed by Henry Cabot Lodge. Lodge felt that the US should avoid constant foreign entanglement. Along with this, Lodge worried that joining this organization would cause the US to be dragged into more wars in the future.
The northern lawmakers needed the state to join the union instead of the confederacy, because if they joined the confederacy, the Union would be weaker.
