1. Four of the 14 points were
   
   1. Open Diplomacy,
      
   2. Restoring conquered territory,
      
   3. Freedom of the seas,
      
   4. And most importantly, a League of Nations to be formed.
2. Anti-German propaganda included war-speeches, the Zimmerman telegram, and pamphlets saying not-nice things about them.
   
3. The Committee on Public Information distributed stuff to raise war enthusiasm.

1. Wilson's stance towards the war was one that preferred neutrality, and also preferred that the US be unaffected by blockades, et cetera.
   
2. It was difficult for the US to maintain neutrality because of racial ties to other nations, e.g. Germany, Italy, Britain; and because of the large amount of profit wartime trade generated.
   
3. One group that criticized Wilson wanted him to go to war in response to the sinking of the Lusitania. The other group thought Wilson's insistence of retaining free trade with the warring nations would eventually drag him into the war.
   
4. Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare after Wilson told them not to do so, and also sent an infamous telegram, the Zimmerman Telegram, which prompted Mexico to be a distraction to the US by declaring war on the US, which would prevent the US from deploying annihilating, fatal blow, shoot first and take names later, troops to Europe. Obviously this pissed off Americans, which probably isn't ever a good idea, but proved fatal to the Triple Alliance.
   

Mini-essay prompt

Unions in the mid- to late-1800s saw little success for multiple reasons. One was that there were laws in place prohibiting or limiting the formation and effectiveness of unions. For example, the right to bargain collectively was not guaranteed by the governments, and a major push for larger unions was to get congress to allow collective bargaining. Another reason unions were ineffective was that the unions were looked down on as rabble-rousers, socialists, and anarchists. This meant it was hard for them to get respect. The government was also pro-big business, and the military often got called in during particularly large or violent strikes. These reasons were bad for the unions because it prevented workers from being treated the way we would consider normal, like an 8-hour workday, weekends off, fair wages, etc.

My OPVL

The origin of my source is the words of 3 Native Americans that survived the massacre at Wounded Knee. This means it is a primary source. It is a verbatim transcript of the writing of the court stenographer for the council of Indian affairs. The council took place on February 11, 1891 in washington. The purpose was to inform the commissioner of the council about what happened at Wounded Knee. It is valuable to students of U.S history because it shows us about the affects of abuse towards Native Americans. It does have bias towards the native Americans, but without the bias, it would not show the affects to an extent strong enough to give a real idea of how badly treated they were. I can see no limitations other than the fact that it does not show the massacre from the US military. However if it did the value of the text being from the native american point of view would not be there and the text would be worthless.

Hi Ms. Roselander,
Sorry I couldn't get this to you earlier, but I forgot and didn't have time and stuff. I told miss Briggs about your stalker comment and she agreed after disagreeing until I explained to her why you called her that.
