Now I may be wrong here, but I would swear that Wilson was from NEW JERSEY......

You are wrong. Wilson was a Virginian, actually met Jeff Davis when he was young, loved the Confederacy, helped write Birth of a Nation, a film which glorified the Klan, was behind the Red Scare of 1919, took the US into an unnecessary foreign war and grew the Federal breaucracy far beyond anything that had ever existed even during the Civil War.

Before Bush, Wilson, LBJ, and Bill Clinton are the three presidents we have had from the Confederacy ---- aren't you proud?

Opps. I forgot Carter another son of the Confederacy. How could I skip that anti-American pin head?

Sigh . . .for what it's worth, there were OTHERS from the South, like George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson -- to name a few.

Bigger sigh. . .and as much as I loath the Klan, their origin was necessitated by the absense of law, order and protection that was NOT provided to the citizens of the South during "Reconstruction." They were basically trying to protect themselves and their families. Those people had NOTHING in common with the KKK today, whether you're talking about the chapters in the South or the North.

Actually, since the war was OVER when those men were in office, that hardly makes them Confederate..... Also...."Birth of a Nation" is considered a classic motion picture, and one of the finest ever made.....
