The wounds from the Civil War run deep with some people.
President Wilson was from the South and had Confederate sympathies.
Americans of German Descent served in great numbers in the Union forces.
He was getting even.
I don’t thinks so
From late 20s on Wilson was a Yankee or at least lived among them
And did very well amongst them
A landslide in 2012 he only lost Three union states one of which was Tafts home statr
Odd for a confederate sympathizer
Odder still the war ended when he was 8 years old
Course he was old enough to enjoy the lovely Reconstruction era and his Radical Republican overlords
Which more explains him
But what he really was was a progressive in that relative definition for that period
A political ideology that afflicted both parties and north and south
