[quote=Faithful1]I think Woodrow Wilson should be on everyone's worst president list. He got us into World War I. He had a private screening of the racist film "Birth of the Nation" held in the White House, then gave it public praise and reignited the KKK. He vetoed anything that gave the appearance of an anti-lynching bill, and he created Jim Crow in Washington DC., not to mention racially segregating the military. He was a big government progressive and a horrible racist.
Another president who should be mentioned is Andrew Jackson, the ultra-racist founder of the modern Democratic Party who was responsible for the Trail of Tears that uprooted thousands of Native Americans from the South to Oklahoma and Arkansas.
yes, faithful I fully agree on both of them. and the trail of tears is one of the most shameful events in U.S history. and no doubt Wilson was a horrible racist.and both need history to take another look at them, a revisionist history of both. thank you for bringing them to my attention.
we seem to never hold anyone then, and now, accountable for their actions, we truly need a revisionist history of all presidents.
Jackson is held more accountable to his actions, I mean like you said the Trail of Tears is one of the most shameful parts of U.S History.
Wilson is only known for WWI, Prohibition starting under him, allowed the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment, and the failed attempt for the United States to join the League of Nations. Besides that not much is known about him. Honestly, I wonder how everything would have been if either Teddy Roosevelt or Taft won the election instead of Wilson in 1912. [/quote
I think teddy Roosevelt would have been a fine choice, he would not have entered that stupid war, and he would never have prohibited alcohol, which turned out to be the most stupid law every made in America. but with Wilson you had an imbecile.
