[Squire]

...[in 1880] a young law student at the University of Virginia,Thomas Woodrow Wilson, speaking for the southern generation that grew to maturity after the war, declared, "I yield to no one precedence in love of the South. But because I love the South, I rejoice in the failure of the Confederacy."

Ah, yes, the Archangel Woodrow. If one didn't already have enough reason to wish that the Confederacy had won its independence, Wilson being against the idea would fill the void. Of course, if there had been a Confederacy, there probably wouldn't have been a Woodrow Wilson in power to make an even greater disaster of post-WWI Europe than the war itself managed. And with no Wilson, there almost certainly would have been no Hitler.

What a colossal, narcissistic, obscenity he was, and at such an early age. As a graduate of the Law School, I am particularly saddened and repulsed. Given the temper of The University then, it is most odd that he wasn't shot down like a mad dog, for his "rejoicing". So often, in history, "tolerance" is suicide. He did not speak for "the southern generation. . . ": He spoke only for his sick, seething lust for power.
