How was family life under slavery?

Explanation:

A father might be sold away by his owner while the mother and children remained behind, or the mother and children might be sold. Enslaved families were also divided for inheritance when an owner died, or because the owners' adult children moved away to create new lives, taking some of the enslaved people with them.

The US never joined the league of nations.

Explanation:

The League of Nations was an entity idealized by the countries that won the First World War (1914-18). They wanted the league to serve as a place where countries could resolve disputes through negotiations instead of fighting.

The first meeting of the League of Nations was held in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1920, with the presence of representatives from 42 countries. Later, more than twenty other countries joined the organization. US President Woodrow Wilson, one of the founders of the League of Nations, wanted the US to join the League of Nations, but the US Congress, by not signing the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, prevented entry of the United States in the league.
