What were the cultural ties and how did they influence American attitudes toward the war?

Explanation:

During world war 1 a lot of countries participated. And many people from the U.S. came as migrants from some of those countries and naturally they would identify themselves as German Americans or Italian Americans and so on. So when the war came many Americans supported Germany or Austria-Hungary and didn't want to go to war against them.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
