Woodrow Wilson beat out both Taft and Teddy Roosevelt and became our 28th President
Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat after two Progressive Republicans, oddly enough he was a Progressive himself. He oversaw many creations, one of the biggest being the Federal Reserve. He also was pretty good towards worker's rights, and a led a decent fight against powerful corporations.
He also tried to pass a law that would have almost ended child labor. However the Supreme Court nullified it when it was passed. It would be a few more years until the horrible practice was abolished.
Easily the biggest part of his presidency was World War I. He tried to stay out of the war, but Germany kept committing small crime after small crime against us. Yet Wilson still tried to keep neutral.
But sometimes enough is enough, and finally after some time Wilson brought us into "The Great War" against Germany. I have mixed feelings about this, it's good to keep peace but then again I think he waited far too long than he should of.
Wilson was also pretty shitty when it came to civil rights. I believe he even had some African-American supporters who felt betrayed after he let Southern racists take over the federal government.
Economically I don't disagree to much with Wilson, Socially however we are total opposites. Good President or bad president? He was flawed, but he did some great things.
