So far, you've managed to go two for two in not knowing where ex-Presidents come from. V-E-R-Y sloppy.

Born in Virginia in 1856, lived in Augusta, GA and Charleston, SC during Reconstruction, took a degree from the College of New Jersey, graduated from University of Virginia Law School, received a doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

He WAS born in Virginia in 1856 but got most of his education up north, even occupied the office of president of Princeton and was governor of New Jersey. Much like X42, born in the South but a northern leaning person.

No matter where he originally came from the South voted for him heavily.

The map below shows the results for the presidential election of 1916. The darker the red the more support for Wilson.

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?
