African American civil rights leaders felt betrayed that the President they had supported during the 1912 election re-segregated many federal jobs for the first time (by official policy) since the Civil War. Woodrow Wilson's favorite movie (and the first to be shown in the White House) in 1915 was the Birth of a Nation, which was originally titled The Clansman.

How did President Wilson lose the peace in World War 1?
We refused to join the league of nation. (??) That decision took place after the victory, ie some two years after the hope of getting peace without victory had been abandoned. Basically, "Peace Without Victory" got nowhere because neither side was willing to settle for it. Both sides were fighting the war on credit and looked to reparations from the defeated enemy to pay their bills for them. Nor would they call off the war without substantial territorial gains to make it look as if the carnage had "achieved" something. Wilson could, in theory, have coerced the Allies into accepting his terms, by stopping vital exports to them from the US; but he had no equivalent "lever" against the Central Powers, so this would have produced a German victory, not a compromise. Wilson did not want that any more than he wanted an outright allied win - maybe even less. Wilson's attempt to get a peace conference going in Dec 1916 came to nothing, and a few weeks later Germany declared unrestricted u-boat warfare, which, since it targeted neutral (including American) merchant ships as well as Allied ones, soon made US neutrality impossible to maintain. Once the US had declared war on Germany in Apr 1917, the idea of peace without victory was as dead as mutton.

Moral diplomacy is a system created by Woodrow Wilson in which support is given only to countries whose moral beliefs are similar to that of the U.S. (i.e. democratic governments.)

Pancho Villa had raided a village in New Mexico and killed Americans. Wilson was determined to prevent Villa from using US territory as a staging ground for his war in Mexico.
What were President Wilson's Fourteen Points?
The first five of Wilson's Fourteen Points were quite general:
I. The Abolition of Secret Treaties Secret treaties were common before the First World War, and many blamed them for helping spark the conflict.
II. The Freedom of the Seas The freedom of the seas allowed for freedom of navigation outside territorial waters at times of war and peace, but also allowed for total and partial blockades "for the enforcement of international covenants." This proposal was opposed in particular by the United Kingdom.
III. Free Trade Free trade provided for the removal of economic barriers between peaceful nations, also called for the introduction of equality in trading conditions.
IV. Disarmament Disarmament "to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety."
V. Adjustment of Colonial Claims. Wilson called for decolonization and national self-determination for formerly colonized countries, and for the people of the world to give equal weight to the opinions of the colonized peoples as to those of the colonial powers.
Points six through thirteen were more specific, dealing with the situation of specific countries:
VI. Russia In the aftermath of the October Revolution and the context of the ongoing Civil War, Russia was to be assured its independent development. This also called for a withdrawal from occupied Russian territory.
VII. The restoration of Belgium Belgium to be evacuated and restored to the status quo ante bellum.
VIII. Alsace-Lorraine France had lost Alsace-Lorraine to Germany following the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian War; it was to be returned.
IX. Italy The borders of Italy were to be redrawn on lines of nationality. Ignoring the territorial promises made under the secret 1915 London Pact, whereby Italy was persuaded to enter the war on the Allies' side, this became a source of resentment in that country.
X. Austria-Hungary Autonomous development of the peoples of Austria-Hungary.
XI. Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, and other Balkan states The integrity of Romania, Serbia, Montenegro, and other Balkan states was to be respected, their territories deoccupied, and Serbia was to be given access to the Adriatic Sea.
XII. Ottoman Empire Sovereignty for the Turkish portion of the Ottoman Empire, autonomous development for other nationalities, and free navigation of the Dardanelles.
XIII. The Polish question The establishment of an independent Poland with access to the sea.
Wilson's final point was perhaps the most visionary:
XIV. A general association of nations Point 14 called for a multilateral international association of nations to enforce the peace, foreshadowing the League of Nations (and, after the Second World War, the United Nations).
How the US end its participation in World War 1?
America joined the war late.
At the last major battle, the second battle of Marne, France and Britain made America stay in Paris because they didn't think we could fight at all.
Germany outsmarted the British and French troops and made their way to take over Paris. They met us and we couldn't fight at all, but the Germans were starving and couldn't fight like they could at the beginning of the war. We held off the Germans long enough for reinforcements to arrive. If we hadn't been there, the Central Powers would have won.
