Wilson refuses carranza's demand to withdraw US troops sent into mexico to capture Villa?
Correct. Wilson invaded Mexico because Villa attacked the town of Columbus, New Mexico in search of supplies and weapons. He was routed by the US Army, but the battle resulted in 18 dead, including 10 civilians; just like an ancient Osama Bin Laden, he was wanted dead or alive.
Carranza protested Wilson for it, but he could not actively respond, as he was in the middle of the Mexican Revolution (1810-1921). This however, further damaged US-Mexico relations for decades to come.

What were Woodrow Wilson's 14 points?
Fourteen proposals given by President Woodrow Wilson to Congress on January 8, 1918. The Fourteen Points outlined the post- World War I peace treaty later negotiated at the Paris Peace Conference, and in the Treaty of Versailles. They were :
- Open covenants of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and in the public view.
- Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenants.
- The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance.
- Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.
- A free, open-minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined.
- The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest cooperation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political development and national policy and assure her of a sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and, more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.
- Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations in the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is forever impaired.
- All French territory should be freed and the invaded portions restored, and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1871 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted, in order that peace may once more be made secure in the interest of all.
- A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be effected along clearly recognizable lines of nationality.
- The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured, should be accorded the freest opportunity of autonomous development.
- Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantees of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into.
- The Turkish portions of the present Ottoman Empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of an autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations under international guarantees.
- An independent Polish state should be erected which should include the territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea, and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by international covenant.
- A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike.
Ultimately, parts of these points were enacted, but Germany was still saddled with war reparations. The US Senate would not approve US membership in the League of Nations.
Why did Woodrow Wilson take a policy of neutrality?
Foreign wars are costly both in money and in human lives. In Wilson's day, the US did not maintain a standing army nor have military bases all over the world. Very few Americans saw any value in the US sending an army to Europe, so neutrality, or at least the official position of neutrality, was the obvious policy to follow.
"Moral diplomacy" promoted human rights, independence, and equal opportunity.

What is the story behind AA co-founder bill Wilson and his plant?
A "Friend of Bill" gave me cuttings from a plant on March 1, 2008 that was passed down through AA and was said to be with Bill W when he died. so the story goes. I still have not found any info on this. I received a cutting of the "Bill W. Plant" at a Florida AA convention, this explanation was attached: " "Bill W. Plants" These Swedish Ivy plants are descendants of the plant that was in Bill Wilson's room when he passed away January 24, 1971 in Miami, Florida. Lois took the plant home to Stepping Stones in New York where she cared for it until the mid 80's. She gave the plant to her housekeeper who in turn gave it to Michael Manning of Atlanta, George. Lois asked that she pass it on to members of the A. A. fellowship in memory of Bill. Michael has taken pieces of this plant all over the world, she brought it to Washington in July 1998. This is a true A. A. plant because every time you pass it on, 2 new shoots replace the only that was given away and your plant grows stronger. Easy to care for, loves sun and likes to completely dry between waterings, place cuttings in water to root and then plant. " This plant is also sometimes called a "Creeping Charlie" plant, and it's rumored that Ebby Thatcher brought it originally to Bill W. when he was in the townes hospital where he had his original spiritual conversion. Bill supposedly gave it this name after a friend of his named Charlie that kept creeping up on Bill's back porch to sleep. I have a large plant of this type that was given to Dr. G. in San Diego in 1973 by Lois W., and then passed on to my first Sponsor Shedrick M. sometime around 1980. I was given the plant, as well as a short letter that's supposed to accompany cuttings of the plant on July 4th, 1995 on my 20th AA birthday. It's rumored to be the original plant, though it's probably impossible too know the truth about it after all this time. The idea of the plant, and the sharing of some of the common threads of our history is what's really important about it.
