I absolutely agree with the comments. In 2024, with the hindsight that we have Woodrow Wilson would have been a bad president for today’s times. But he wasn’t President today, he was president well over 100 years ago. What he did was remarkable for his time. I know many of you have never studied it in school, but this is what history is about. Sure, in June 2024, he seems like a repulsive person. In today’s standards, he likely is. But by the standards of that day, and that time, he was a well respected diplomat, and World leader, who came up with the idea of a League Of Nations, 20+ years before the actual United Nations Unfortunately, or fortunately, we cannot change what has happened in the past. Woodrow Wilson and his times were what they were. We can learn from what happened in his times so that hopefully we don’t make the same mistakes again, but we can’t cancel the period in which he influenced the world. Again, that is wha history is all about. It’s not a pretty story in many cases, but it is what it is.

[@andrejamison2723]

I disagree. Morals are Morals.

[@erikriza7165]

The criticism of him that I remember, when i had history class in school many years ago, was that he spent so much time in Europe, and little time in the United States.

No, it wasn't Wilson's fault. The European Entente powers would've slammed Germany with even more punitive measures in the wake of the war if he wasn't involved. Though it didn't mean much in the grand scheme, Wilson actually convinced some of the delegates to scale back those various retribution clauses in the Treaty of Versailles. The League of Nations WAS an excellent idea and the precursor to the UN, but they didn't give themselves enough power to take active steps to curb the possibility of a war. Their lack of collective power combined with the Treaty of Versailles all set the stage for WWII.

Just a little clarification: Texas was not "conquered" by the US from Mexico. Texas fought a war of independence against Mexico in 1835 - 36 and became an independent nation from 1836 to 1845. Texas was then admitted to the US by treaty at the very end of 1845 and formally annexed into the US. The remaining states of the Southwest came into the US as a result of "conquest" but Texas did not.

Wilson was an accidential President, who wouldnt have been elected by todays standards. 1) It would be more unlikely that The New Jersey party bosses would choose Wilson as their nominee, in 2024. They could see footage of Wilson on the internet. 2) Even if he won the Governorship, it would be unlikely that he'd get the nomination. Presidential Primaries would have a greater impact. Would Wilson's speaking skills come off as too condescending? Would Wilson's views on race be a hindrance to his nomination? 3) Could Wilson even get the nomination? The Democrats of 1912, had the infamous "two-thirds " rule, which is required for nominees. The Democrats of 2024, only required a simple majority of delegates. Speaker of the House Champ Clark had a simple majority of delegates in 1912. But, in an alternate 2024, that simple majority would get him the nomination. (An alternate 2024 would also give Clark, a strong support from Superdelegates. ) 4) Even if Wilson won the nomination, The Republicans would have had a more unified front. 2024 standards would have kept TR from being a candidate, because of the 22nd Amendment. (The 22nd Amendment came into effect in 1951.) TR would have likely supported Taft. But if the 22nd Amendment was not a factor, TR would have won the Republican Nomination, because of his victories in the primaries. Taft would have endorsed him. A unified Republican ticket would have the nominee with about 57 percent of the popular vote. The GOP nominee would have also won a majority of the Electoral College. (The only reason Wilson won the bulk of his Electoral Votes, in real timeline, outside the South, was because of the TR-Taft split in the popular votes.)

[@DarthDread-oh2ne]

Basically, Wilson couldn’t beat TR or Taft in a the fair fight.

[@robertpolityka8464]

@DarthDread-oh2ne He couldn't win on a one-on-one match. Also, the Republicans had control of the White House for sixteen years. Other than the TR-Taft split (or fatigue of the Republicans being in charge for too long), were there any other factors that could have contributed to a Wilson victory?

[@Loe_Jist]

Wilson's victory in 1912, along with Debbs finishing as high as 4th place, essentially sent a message to both political parties: don't split the vote. Don't break rank. Nominate a candidate and go all in. We're stuck with the two party system as it is today thanks to that election. You don't see serious 3rd party contenders because neither party's members break rank. Actual competition on the same political side gets suppressed. A rogue politician from one party running as a 3rd party candidate siphons votes from the main candidate. In that scenario, like in 1912, the other guy wins. Nowadays, people know how it works so they keep their party members in line.

Klansman on the Court In 1937 FDR appointed Alabama Senator Hugo Black to the Supreme Court. Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and built his career campaigning at Klan meetings. Black was well known for his anti-Catholic viewpoints. In Korematsu v. the United States, Black voted to uphold President Roosevelt's mass arrests and incarceration of Japanese men, women, and children based on race. President Roosevelt called Democrat Klansman Sen. Theodore Bilbo "a real friend of liberal government. Bilbo claimed himself to be "100 percent for Roosevelt...and the New Deal."[107] In a 1938 filibuster against anti-lynching legislation, Bilbo said on the Senate floor that the bill would “open the floodgates of hell in the South” by encouraging Black men to rape white women. Franklin Roosevelt nominated James F. Byrnes to the Supreme Court and was confirmed by the Democrat Senate in 1941. The NAACP opposed his confirmation in a telegram to the White House: “If Senator Byrnes at any time in his long public career failed to take a position inimical to the human and citizenship rights of 13 million American Negro citizens, close scrutiny of his record fails to reveal it.

Opposition to anti-lynching law Segregationist senators Tom Connally, Walter F. George, Richard Russell, Jr., and Claude Pepper filibustering the Wagner-Van Nuys Act, an anti-lynching bill, in 1938; all four were liberal New Dealers. Despite insistence by leftists that the Democrat opposition to civil rights legislation (including anti-lynching legislation) was exclusively from "conservative"/Southern Democrats, it's important to note that a 1937 anti-lynching bill passed the House with opposition from both the Southern bloc in addition to 15 Northern Democrats.[112] Of those who voted on the legislation by party, it got 96% support from Republicans and only 62% from Democrats. In late July 1937, Senate Democrats successfully tabled an anti-lynching effort (introduced by pro-civil rights DINO Royal S. Copeland) twice. On July 26, the Senate voted 41-34 to kill an anti-lynching amendment,[113] with the "Yeas" including future Supreme Court justice Hugo Black and future Vice President Alben Barkley. Over a dozen Northern Democrats voted with the Southern bloc to kill the amendment. 61% of Democrats voted in favor of tabling. Five days later, the majority of Senate Democrats (66% of them) voted yet again to kill the amendment in a 46-39 vote.

After saving their bacon by winning the War, he was summarily pushed aside and crumpled under that malignancy which ruled Europe for centuries.

I mean, “Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics, and American Economics in the Progressive Era” by Thomas C. Leonard really illustrates that the whole racism thing was hardly exclusive to this particular progressive and even rather common.

It's crazy when you notice the birth to death years of everyone mentioned in this documentary: almost no one lived to see 60 years. Almost all died in their 50s, what is now considered later middle aged. And this is less than 100 years ago. Will we see an average adult live to 120 or longer in the next century?

And the Black folks bought that from him....ignoring the GOP who did so much for them after the civil war!

[@d0bsey]

The only thing I know about Woodrow Wilson is that Americans refuse to talk about him and you're not allowed to ask & probably more importantly, that Bart Simpson invented an alias using his photo and name 'Woodrow' responding to a personals ad placed by his teacher Edna Krabappel. Eager to listen hoping we'll hit these important points.
