Wilson may actually be *the* worst president in American history. A flat out racist, he segregated blacks within Federal positions, thus ensuring a two-tier system would be perpetuated. He promised no involvement in WW1, then got us into WW1, then proceeded to outlaw any speech or protest by anyone opposed to the war. He then orchestrated the disastrous League of Nations, a precursor to one-world government and the UN. An institution which crippled Germany and ultimately pushed that country toward Hitler and WW2.
Great synopsis.
Wilson was pure evil and the worst president in history (so far).
AND The Sedition Act curtailing free speech.
So it appears Biden has been following in his foot steps.
While I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of Woodrow Wilson, I respectfully disagree with your reason for the cause of WW2. The reason Germany started WW2 (not counting the Japanese portion in 1937) is because not enough German citizens died in the prior WW1 Germany made. The reason Germany used Ferdinand's assassinations to make the temporary face-saving battles into a big WW1 is because not enough Germans (Prussians) died in the prior Franco-Prussian war Prussia started.
The reason Germany hasn't started WW3 is because in the WW2 Germany started, over 6 million German citizens were killed. In other words, for the first time Germany's opponents brought the horrors of war to Germany. That's the only thing that stops a war mongering culture hell bent on killing masses of civilians.
Fixed it for ya.
Without a doubt.
One might add to your list of Wilson’s Constitutional crimes is that, using war powers, he put in place the New Deal, which was solid practice for the next generation of fascists who would implement it directly in the 1930s.
