President Woodrow Wilson was forced to compromise nearly all of his Fourteen Points mainly because British Prime Minister, Lloyd George and French Premier, Georges Clemenceau wanted blood rather than peace. His proposal to share waters was flat-out refused by George, who would not give up Britain's naval advantage. although the Wilson plan called for shared responsibility, the Treaty of Versailles placed the blame squarely on Germany's shoulders, and demanded it pay the cost of the entire war. The one point that remained unchallenged was the creation of a body of nations for security purposes.

Why did Wilson believe the fourteen points should be the basis for peace talks?
He believed secret agreements and violations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the life of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secure once for all against their recurrence. He believed the 14 points would fix that.
Why did the US negotiate separate treaties after World War 1?
The United States did not ratify the Treaty of Versailles, therefore, a separate treaty between Germany and the United States was needed. The treaty brought the United States in a closer agreement, to the point where the United States actually assisted the Weimar Republic in meeting some of its obligations.
Were was the imaginary line of The Missouri Compromise?
It was the parallel that marked the Southern border of Missouri. All the way to the Pacific, anywhere North of that line was free soil. This was meant to settle the slavery argument in respect of new states. Both sides were equally dissatisfied with this solution - but 'equally' was the point. It kept the balance, and it kept the peace for thirty years.

Is Duluth a French name?
Technically it is not French. It is a phonetic representation of a French surname. Duluth is named for Daniel Greysolon Sieur Du Lhut, French nobleman and explorer. In 1679 he landed on Park Point, where the Aerial Lift Bridge Canal is now. In 1855 almost 200 of the few settlers on the Point were trying to select a name for the town site. They asked a visiting Presbyterian minister, Joseph Wilson to name the village and he chose " Duluth".
