The Northern states were more industrial than the Southern states. The North relied on industry for its economy, but they did have an agricultural element. The Northern states fought to preserve the Union and eventually to abolish slavery. The Union also had a higher population and because of their factories the military was well supplied throughout the war. The border states were made up of states that were under Union control, some by force such as martial law. Most people in border states were supportive of the Confederacy, however, and would allow Confederate Armies to come through. The border states also exported some agricultural products to the South. The Southern states economy ran on agriculture and were less industrial than the North. The Southern states fought to preserve their way of life, to uphold slavery, and to govern themselves without the federal government interfering as much as it did in the Union. The Confederate states' most important export was cotton, however their production of cotton decreased during war time. The Southern states also had a smaller population. Near the end of the war the Confederacy began running out of money resulting in the Confederate military needing to scavenge for supplies.
Answer: to assure that the United States had access to trade with China.
The Open Door policy was issued by the United States in 1899-1900 as a series of dispatches from the US Secretary of State to other nations that had trading interests in China -- Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia. The policy reasserted earlier agreements that all countries should have equal access to ports in China, with no favored "spheres of influence" for one nation or another. The United States was seeking to maintain an equal footing with other nations in the access to trade in China.
Answer:
Dear editor,
The terms in the Treaty of Versailles are unfair towards the new German Republic that is being created. We cannot allow these massive war reparations to be put on the treaty, it will cause political chaos in Germany. Not to mention poverty would be everywhere in the country, Germany has already spent enough money on its own during the war, they have nothing to pay us back! The downsizing of their military should also allow them to only protect themselves. Instead of shaming Germany, we should help reconstruct their nation and they could be allies in the future with democracies spreading in Europe. I fear the rise of communism like what happened in Russia during the war can happen in this new German democracy. Or even worse a party could grow in the country that will defy the treaty of Versailles! This is why we must be extremely careful with our terms of the treaty and use our victory wisely. The creation of the European Polish state is a bit extreme and will affect all those Germans living in that territory. Please take this into consideration as the Treaty of Versailles will choose the fate of Germany's future.
