December 7, 1941 (or 6, 1941, depending on which time zone you were in), was the day of the Battle of Pearl Harbor, in which Japan broke political ties with the US, and attacked the US harbors in Pearl Harbor, destroying multiple infrastructure and battleships before the US had time to react. This battle also sparked the US to declare war on Japan, and led to the internment of Japanese American Nisei and Issei in an attempt to rid the US of spies & political enemies.

Answer:
The North had geographic advantages, too. It had more farms than the South to provide food for troops. Its land contained most of the country's iron, coal, copper, and gold. The North controlled the seas, and its 21,000 miles of railroad track allowed troops and supplies to be transported wherever they were needed.
Explanation:
It made an agricultural industry in the south possible.
For those owning plantations, it made great wealth possible.
It set up a class system.
Even people with small farms seemed to have been able to afford 1 slave, so the south had economic reasons for engaging in the civil war. There were 69000 farms in the south when the war broke out. Each had at least 1 slave so they were very dependent on that labor.
It helped because it enabled other fronts to open up because the American Offensive in the area ended with a victory, which meant that they could move to other areas and bother Germans there. They didn't' do this however because the fighting ended since the Germans became aware of their losses and signed an armistice.
