Woodrow Wilson was a horrible President in some ways. He was a racist and Klan sympathizer and he helped inflict the horrible Treaty of Versailles. The Klan grew during his Presidency and lynching increased.

That being said, he did get some good workplace safety laws passed for factories, which were dangerous hellholes back in the day.

Wilson’s view of foreign policy was one generally adopted by almost all proceeding presidents.

Wikipedia:

Wilsonianism or Wilsonian are words used to describe a certain type of ideological perspectives on foreign policy. The term comes from the ideology of United States President Woodrow Wilson and his famous Fourteen Points that he believed would help create world peace if implemented.

Common principles that are often associated with “Wilsonianism” include:

*Advocacy of the spread of democracy[1]

*Advocacy of the spread of capitalism[2]

*Opposition to isolationism and non-interventionism[3]

*Pro-imperialism,[4] in favor of intervention to further national self-interest.[5][6]
