Opinion of Woodrow Wilson

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

For me he was a deeply HP

1. Committed racist, refused to admitt Black student to Princeton
2. White Supremacist, who introduced segregation in federal offices
3. Hypocrite, talking neraly exlusively about idealism, but also ordered number of cruel and unjust military interventions
4. For long time undecided regarding World War I
5. Blew up a huge opportunity, League of Nation (yes, this was not only GOP and Lodge fault, Wilson refused to any compromise)
6. Religious fanatic

anti-progressive policies,

A diamond among dung.

"Progressive", then, I believe to be different from progressive now. The reforms undertaken by TR were very well necessary, fair, efficient, and overall good for America. Wilson fought against woman's suffrage and the like. Except for union support, which was a very bad policy of the Progressives.

Oh yes, I forgot about his opposition to woman's suffrage

Wilson always in fact remained an unreconstructed son of antabellum Dixie

Of course, I think personally he was a SOB and a dirty racist. But led America through WW1 and introduced internationalism to America. And proved that Isolationism is nothing  but a cowardly and failed policy.

Right, it takes a lot of courage to lounge in the oval office while ordering thousands of young boys to be sent to their deaths for no good reason. Especially after you've lied your way through a whole election campaign promising to preserve peace.

Plus thanks to Wilson's interventionism, we eventually got to experience World War II, the Cold War, and the current mess in the Middle East.

What a success story.

Would you oppose war even after being attacked?

We weren't. Hypotheticals=dgaf

In 1917 not, however Zimmermann Telegram was a good reason to get involved. But some other earlier events (Lusitania) too.

US was attacked directly in 1941 by Japan.
