Woodrow Wilson: The great romantic

President Woodrow Wilson lobbied Congress to support his passion project, the League of Nations, but he also lobbied a widow to become the second Mrs. Wilson. Mo Rocca offers a portrait of the 28th president.

    Woodrow Wilson may have been a romantic person, but he was also a racist. He grew up in the south, not to mention his father was a confederate soldier. Plus, during his presidency, there was a time where hatred against blacks was dying down, he brought it back in full swing by introducing Jim Crow Laws. It’s real sad people look past that fact because of his victory in WW1. Not to mention the fact that they buried him in the Washington National Cathedral. Absolutely horrible.

    CSPAN"s Presidential Survey shows an interesting decline in Wilson's public stature. He was ranked 6th among presidents in 2000, but had fallen to 13th by 2021.

The renewed focus on racial issues over the last decade or so hasn't helped him, either.

    @@DaddyDuckTown It’s not just economic policy in which they were similar. Wilson and FDR were liberal internationalists on foreign policy. Wilson pushed for the League of Nations and FDR and Truman pushed for the United Nations. The main difference between Wilson and FDR and Truman is that Wilson failed with the League of Nations while FDR and Truman were successful with the United Nations. Now pretty much everyone would denounce Wilson for being a racist and a segregationist. But liberals should support his economic and foreign policies. Conservatives and libertarians would understandably oppose Wilson’s economic and foreign policies. I think that Wilson was a mediocre president.

    Yes, plus he laid the foundation for the Second World War by insisting Germany bare the full responsibility for the start of WWI.

Wilson's high ranking is due to the fact he was associated with Harvard, so all the Ivory Tower academic revisionists love him.

The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” ~ Woodrow Wilson

Pre-civil rights, the office building was built in Virginia, a segregated state that Wilson had no qualms profiting from in his time. His views on race are well documented, and his League of Nations was a forerunner to the United Nations. To call a certain film: Like writing history with a lightning bolt, is all you need to know about the man and his motives. A century later, and we're none the wiser for it 🤔
