Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) was the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921 and leader of the Progressive Movement. He served as President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910 and was Governor of New Jersey from 1911 to 1913. He led his Democratic Party to win control of both the White House and Congress in 1912.Wilson induced a conservative Democratic Congress to pass a progressive legislative agenda, unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933. This included the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and an income tax. Child labor was temporarily curtailed by the Keating–Owen Act of 1916. Wilson also averted a railroad strike and an ensuing economic crisis through passage of the Adamson Act, imposing an 8-hour workday for railroads. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Wilson maintained a policy of neutrality.Narrowly re-elected in 1916 around the slogan "He kept us out of war", Wilson's second term was dominated by American entry into World War I. That year he proclaimed June 14 as Flag Day in a patriotic speech that bore out the nation's anti-German sentiment. In April 1917, when Germany persisted with submarine warfare, Wilson asked Congress to declare war in order to make "the world safe for democracy." The United States conducted military operations with the Allies, without a formal alliance. During the war, Wilson focused on diplomacy and financial considerations, leaving military particulars in the hands of the Army. He loaned billions of dollars to Britain, France and other Allies, allowing them to finance their own war effort. On the home front in 1917, he began the first large-scale draft and borrowed billions of dollars in war funding through the newly established Federal Reserve Bank and Liberty Bonds. He set up the War Industries Board, promoted labor union cooperation, supervised agriculture and food production through the Lever Act and assumed control of the railroads.He also suppressed anti-war movements with the Espionage Act of 1917 and the Sedition Act of 1918, a crackdown which broadened and intensified to include real and suspected anarchists and communists during the First Red Scare of 1919–1920. After years of opposition, in 1918 Wilson was pressured to change his position on women's suffrage, which he then advocated as a war measure. Though he sought and received support from many in the black community, he permitted racial segregation of the Post Office, the U.S. Treasury Department, and the Navy.Wilson took personal control of negotiations when an armistice was requested by Germany, and in 1918 he issued his principles for peace, theFourteen Points. In 1919 he went to Paris to promote the formation of a League of Nations and concluded the Treaty of Versailles. Wilson then suffered a severe stroke, and was unable to secure Senate ratification of the Treaty. By 1920 his disability had diminished his

#Quote
1You know that it was Jefferson who said that the best government is that which does as little governing as possible... But that time is passed. Government does now whatever experience permits or the times demand.
2[on father] My best training came from my father.
3[on dreams] All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let our dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, nurse them through bad days till they bring them to sunshine and light, which always come to those who sincerely believe that their dreams will come true.
4All that progressives desire is permission to interpret the Constitution according to Darwinian principle.
5Never murder a man who is committing suicide.
6[1920: Upon hearing that the Senate had defeated his proposal for the League of Nations] They have shamed us in the eyes of the world.
7[After viewing The Birth of a Nation (1915)]: It was like writing history with lightning. It is all so terribly true.
#Fact
1Radical folk singer Woody Guthrie, whose full name was Woodrow Wilson Guthrie, was named after him. However, unlike the anti-labor Wilson, Guthrie actively championed the labor movement.
2Usually known as a progressive, James Loewen's "Lies My Teacher Told Me" revealed that Wilson held very reactionary views. In addition to being a white supremacist, Wilson labeled immigrants "hyphenated Americans". He also crushed the labor movement and sent US troops to Russia with the unsuccessful aim of overturning the Bolshevik revolution. A young Ho Chi Minh appealed to him at the Versailles Negotiations, but Wilson refused to listen (to which Loewen attributes the Vietnam War).
3Befriended by Harry Garfield, son of James A. Garfield, while Garfield taught politics at Princeton and Wilson was its president.
4Has a drive named after him in Los Angeles.
5When Confederate president, Jefferson Davis was being taken to prison in May, 1865, his carriage passed through Augusta, Georgia. Woodrow Wilson was among the onlookers along with his father, the town's Presbyterian minister.
6Was a Government Professor at Princeton University, and later President of the University. This makes him the first of only two professional educators to become President. The second was Lyndon Johnson.
7He was inducted into the 2010 New Jersey Hall of Fame for his services and contributions to history.
8Grandfather of Francis Sayre, who was born in the White House. Sayre later became the dean of Washington National Cathedral.
9He was nominated for the 2008 New Jersey Hall of Fame for his services and contributions to history.
10Created the Federal Reserve System.
11Wilson was an avid automobile enthusiast (his favorite car was his 1919 Pierce-Arrow). He became a strong advocate for federal funding for highway construction, which grew under his administration.
12The first sitting US President to visit the Pope.
13Was a member of Phi Kappa Psi fraternity.
14The only US President buried in Washington, DC.
15In his younger days he was an acquaintance of ex-Confederate general Robert E. Lee.
16The first sitting President to attend a World Series game (1916) and the first President to officially throw out the first ball at a World Series game.
17When he went to the Paris peace conference in 1918, he made a proposal for an international body to handle disputes between nations by negotiation rather than force. It was called the League of Nations. This was the forerunner for the United Nations.
18When the Senate defeated his proposal for the League of Nations, he correctly predicted that there would be another international conflict with a generation.
19He was nominated in 2007 and 2008 for inclusion in the New Jersey Hall of Fame for his services and contributions to history.
20Appears on the Series 1934 $100,000 bill. This rare U.S. currency was printed in limited quantities and was not for general circulation.
21Came up with the famous term "The Great Melting Pot" referring to the United States of America.
22Was the first Democrat elected President during the twentieth century. He was also the first Democratic President, other than Grover Cleveland, since Andrew Johnson. Johnson was preceded by Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, and succeeded only by Republican, except Cleveland, until Wilson.
23His second wife was related to Pocahontas.
24When he ran for re-election in 1916 he ran with the campaign slogan "He kept us out of war". Five months into his second term the sinking of the Lusitania caused him to very reluctantly ask the Congress for a declaration of war against Germany.
25His first name is actually Thomas but he chose Woodrow as his professional name because he thought it sounded more authoritative.
26He is the only president to have held a PhD.
27Due to some insecurities set upon him by his mother during his childhood, Wilson had a distrust of strangers. While very warm to close friends he was known to be outwardly cold to those he did not know.
28A member of his cabinet once addressed him as "Woody", Wilson stared at him and said "Sir? Are you speaking to me or the floorboards?"
29Ellen Louise Axson Wilson was the first First Lady from Georgia. She painted as a hobby and sold her work for charity. Ironically, hers is the only portrait of the First Ladies not displayed in the White House.
30According to PBS's American Experience documentary, Woodrow Wilson and the Birth of the American Century (2002), when he allowed his cabinet to segregate government offices, black journalist William Monroe Trotter led a delegation to meet with him. When Wilson explained that the policy was enacted not "to injure or humiliate the colored clerks, but to avoid friction," an infuriated Trotter engaged in a shouting match with the president. After he was thrown out, Trotter then re-enacted what had happened to reporters on the White House grounds. Because of Trotter's stunt, an act Wilson considered unforgivable, he refused to do anything to promote civil rights for the rest of his life. Ironically, he had won the support of many black male voters in the 1912 presidential election.
31Was unable to read at age ten. Historians believe he suffered from a form of dyslexia.
32Unanimously elected president of Princeton University (1902).
33Taught at Bryn Mawr (1885-1888) and Wesleyan (1888-1890).
34Met his second wife, Edith Bolling Galt, by chance at the White House. They married nine months later. When Wilson suffered a paralyzing stroke on 2 October 1919, she imposed a "stewardship" of the Presidency, serving as the only conduit to her husband until he clawed his way back to moderate health. Though she carefully controlled his days, charges that she usurped the duties of the Presidency were exaggerated.
35Interred at the Washington National Cathedral.
36Elected governor of New Jersey without having held public office. Term of service: 17 January 1911 - 1 March 1913.
37Children: Margaret Woodrow Wilson (16 April 1886 - 12 February 1944); Jessie Woodrow Wilson (28 August 1887 - 15 January 1933); Eleanor Randolph Wilson (5 October 1889 - 5 April 1967). Jessie married Francis Bowes Sayre on 25 November 1913 at the White House. They had two children, Francis, Jr. and Eleanor Axson Sayre. Eleanor married William Gibbs McAdoo on 7 May 1914 at the White House. They had two daughters, Ellen Wilson and Mary Faith McAdoo.
38A lifelong baseball fan, he was the first sitting president to attend a World Series game.
