His racist views and his superiority complex to blacks all fail to resurface from our minds. It’s precisely because of the fact that we “heroize” him as being one of our greatest Presidents‚ and we don’t want to see him any other way. Even though he does have another

President Wilson’s “He Kept Us Out Of The War” campaign slogan quickly went out the window. Before America just entered into the war‚ Wilson wanted to make sure he had majority support from the American people

Did President Wilson have no choice but to enter World War 1 on the side of the allies? Seeing as Germany was planning on declaring war on America‚ Wilson had no choice but to join the side of the allies. President Wilson was a peaceful man but America was already being treated horribly by Germany before even entering war‚ and he couldn’t continue to watch innocent Americans being killed for something they weren’t even a part of. Wilson could not let American’s become helpless or violent creatures
