Woodrow Wilson: The great romantic

- President Woodrow Wilson lobbied Congress to support his passion project, the League of Nations, but he also lobbied a widow to become the second Mrs. Wilson. Mo Rocca offers a portrait of the 28th president.
Wilson was the guy who screened "Birth of a Nation" in the White House
@@Jerichonoy In February 1915, upon viewing The Birth of a Nation at a special White House screening, President Woodrow Wilson reportedly remarked, "It's like writing history with lightning. My only regret is that it is all so terribly true."
@@Jerichonoy , I guess Wilson disliked being a racist too.
@@Jerichonoy He said quote' It's like writing history with lighting, it's to bad it's so very true " unquote. Wilson was a racist pos!
@@Jerichonoy apologist
And segregated Washington DC as well.
They don't build monuments to this guy for a reason.
bxktd that’s what he’s saying you dolt
@@swatchthensoundgod981 it was rhetorical
Thats not true. Wilson was a great man, fearless and one of the best men to ever live. Wilson stood for the working man.
John Murphy hahahahaha
They put his portrait on the $100,000 bill. It was a gold certificate meant only for banks but he still was on US currency & the highest denomination issued.
He sure got over his dead wife pretty quickly
That's true leadership, though, who wants a president whose administration is hindered by excessive grieving ??!
So Wilson's second wife Edith was "buxom" ...so seems that Wilson was able to pay attention to another woman rather than spend much time grieving.
john McCain did the Samething so did I Romney and Bill Clinton was sticking cigars in his intern while Hillary was upstairs fondling her Assistant ! So I hear ! Ted Kennedy Got away with the Killing of Joanne Kopeckne ! Welcome to Politics !
So much for a romantic
@@rizwanshah3118 Actually exactly as a romantic would have done. Romanticism runs deep and supersedes any form of tragedy. Its greatest vice. In other words, romanticism is posited to be one of the best and at the same time worse forms of idealism-materialism dichotomy
Never asks:
-> women about their age
-> men about their social status
-> democrats about president Wilson
-> never ask an Argentinian their SS rank

-> Your German girlfriend why her grandfather is from Argentina.
And they still daydream about him to this day, makes you think don't it
@Ozzy TheTerrible never heard any Dem daydream about him lmao.
Democrats don't mind about Wilson because Democrats know about the party switch of the 60s, that thing that Republicans always say never happened.
He was an intelligent and energetic man: he was also a racist.
A lot of people were racist back then. And apart of take away various black public servants, he didn't make nothing terrible after. Rossevelt was pretry racist too and i don't see anybody critizice him for that.
@@samuel.28col8 Roosevelt invited a black man and his family into the White House.
@@patrickbateman8622 Well, they were politicians, and back then black people endorsed more the GOP, so of course they gonna pay liep service to them. Obviosly that's no make Rossevelt a bad president.
@Kyle Katarn how was lbj racist
That is the play book the demo live by.
Still can’t respect his legacy because he didn’t see people who look like me as equal. What a shame!
That means he was a sick person.
Harris S yep!
Well that means he was just raised a certain way which is why that was his belief if u rlly think about it
@@dylanzelaya9949 That still doesn't make it right.
@Reece Robinson you make no sense.

He is the greatest president of all time.
@@patrickbateman8622 ok

What can we say, there is much of that to talk about, we almost have a hard time figuring out where to start.
@@patrickbateman8622 really...........?
When I hear the name Woodrow Wilson I think vicious racist, Klansman, the architect of the Versailles catastrophe, the roadmap for the ascent of Hitler, WWII, genocide.
@Slatternly Skaghalter Who is this "us" you refer to? "Us" - the USA had absolutely no dog in that murderous, senseless war. The USA should never have become involved. This Klansman who re-segregated the Federal Government, this union buster, this clown who betrayed Ireland, other small nations. What's this crap about deserting our oldest ally? Recall D-Day, recall the Liberation of Paris, of France?
@@mjw12345 I hate Wilson for many reasons, but when Germany was sinking american ships, he was fully justified in declaring war. I blame him for not doing it earlier, like teddy Roosevelt would've. The war could've ended years earlier. Wilson joined so late that america could barely do anything before the war was over.
I think of DemoRats !!!
Don't forget him interfering with Latin America especially Mexico and the Dominican Republic
When I hear that name, I think of a very intelectual and smart guy but with social darwinistic ideas like Hp lovecraft. Basically a racist genius
Imagine your college professor leading your country into World War 1.
Imagine your teacher becoming the leader of Italy and trying to restore the Roman empire

The students hated him they staged several protests against him at his time at Princeston
@UncleMikeNJ Trump is truly missed. 😟😟😟
“Wilson embued everything he did with moral purpose” like screening birth of a nation and segregating the federal government. How moral.
He was tricked into screening Birth of A nation. It was supposed to be another film shown, and he made it clear time after time that he was disrespected because the person who showed it told him it would be something else.
Amen!!!

nice to know this man, who is responsible for everything that's going on in our world right now, was a great romantic.
Actually it is the main thing to know about the man. Romanticism has brought so many good to this world, but for as many good as it has done, its has done even more exponentially bad
Incorrect. The treaty of V was modified by France and Italy to blame Germany. He exclaimed until his dying day that the modifications would cause another war.
@UncleMikeNJ Federal Reserve Act alone was pretty damning
@UncleMikeNJ Lol, they were responsible for the Great Depression...
Roosevelt should have won in 1912
roosevelt shouldve controlled his ego and accept the fact that taft won the primary over him. if he let taft serve 4 more years there would’ve been no wilson presidency. roosevelt couldve ran again after tafts second term
No. Teddy Roosevelt was a great president, but his legacy could've been ruined if he was elected in 1912 (WW1, and you know how much he loves fighting). Taft should've won the 1912 election, he was the real trust breaker and pretty underrated.
It would have been night and day.
@@UnitedStates17 If Roosevelt got involved in WWI the US still would have won WWI.
@@UnitedStates17He would hate us but I agree.
They picked the wrong word that begins with R to describe this man.
A genuine joke from the day: "What happened when Woodrow Wilson proposed marriage to Edith Galt? Why, she was so surprised, she almost fell out of bed."
Wilson is easily top 10 worst presidents. And how I used to like him since he was governor of my state
Because the history books hid his racism.
@Jimmy Carter How about caring about both? And I am judging Wilson by the standards of his time, not today. By the standards of his time he was a flat-out, hate-filled racist.
@Jimmy Carter i’m ur biggest fan Jim
@@rubygreta1 History books hide everyone's racism.
ruclips.net/video/3hRd8B_vZiA/видео.html watch this and part 1 you'll make him #1
Wow they devoted a whole 30 seconds to the segregation issue which is his legacy. Much more time devoted to his love life. Historians should be more honest
That's his legacy in America. He had an even worse Legacy when it comes to foreign policy. Much of America's woes in foreign policy today come from him
People really need to stop calling Wilson a conservative. That’s all I have to say. Lol
Exactly thank you so much
He was a progressive a lot like FDR and Teddy Roosevelt
@Tom Tříska Yes that was considered progressive at the time. In fact the architects of South African Apartheid were very much like woodrow wilson
@Tom Tříska this is very well know read the White House webpage about him not trying to sound condescending but he was literally called the leader of the progressive movement.
The great romantic that instituted income tax. You can see what monster the IRS has grown into today.
Woodrow Wilson may have been a romantic person, but he was also a racist. He grew up in the south, not to mention his father was a confederate soldier.
Plus, during his presidency, there was a time where hatred against blacks was dying down, he brought it back in full swing by introducing Jim Crow Laws.
It’s real sad people look past that fact because of his victory in WW1. Not to mention the fact that they buried him in the Washington National Cathedral. Absolutely horrible.
Yeah... turns out Woodrow Wilson was not a good person. If Taft and Roosevelt hadn't split the Republican vote, Wilson wouldn't have been president. And much of what he did in office still ripples through our society today. Not gonna call him the worst president (because come on now, there are way worse than him!). But he is definitely in the bottom tier of the Presidents.
WILSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cynical
Wilson also wanted to tone down any talk of the 1918 flu, even as it was spreading. He worried it would interfere with the war effort. At first our own troops were spreading it.
He also intervened in Latin America a lot, he went into Mexico 11 times! Not to mention that he was so racist he hated whites who didn’t identify as only “American”
"But Wilson would be nobodies puppet" *Proceeds to sign the federal reserve act and pretty much sell our country away*
Woodrow Wilson: The great romantic, more like Woodrow Wilson: The great racist
Buddy you must be talking about Trump
HighburyAFCSoul No he’s not. He’s talking about Woodrow
Yep. The greatest racist. And the worst Pres in history.
He was a product of his Southern upbringing. Obviously racism existed all around him in the south. Sadly, racism still exists today although not to the degree it did during his lifetime.
Nipun Sharma, He did not support the 19th amendment. Which is great. Wish we had him again to stop this feminist.
We seem to elect politicians wthout knowing them - every 4 to 8 years.
Woodrow Wilson: "I have unwittingly ruined my country"
@Nolkin Blubaugh ~ on purpose.
@Nolkin Blubaugh Not as much as Wilson did.
Wilson did it with full racist knowledge
After Republicans had de-segregated federal employees, Wilson re-segregated federal employees as soon as he could.
If you heard thud in the background wherever you are in the world, that was me, hitting my head on my desk while watching people extol the romanticism of one of the most vile men of the early 20th century that also occupied the White House.
Bulgaria is forever grateful to this man
CSPAN"s Presidential Survey shows an interesting decline in Wilson's public stature. He was ranked 6th among presidents in 2000, but had fallen to 13th by 2021. I think Wilson's reputation has suffered as the United States has lost confidence in its international role following Iraq and Afghanistan. The renewed focus on racial issues over the last decade or so hasn't helped him, either.
So no mention of totally rewriting african american history? Or just completely changing the way its taught? Weird...
Yup. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I don't mean this to be rude but are you talking about how they only dedicated 30 seconds to him segregating government?
@willfakaroni5808 yeah he made it to where schools weren't allowed to be taught about influential black figures in history. That laid the framework of school education for probably 50+ years. He essentially tried to erase parts of history that highlighted black and even native America history. He was greatly influenced by Birth of a Nation and even had it shown in the white house as he was president.
Wow Mo, you made a piece with a lot missing, namely his hatred of minorities.
Yup.
Wilson is one of those guys that I think regardless of political orientation we can all come together and collectively hate on. Whether you're auth right (created the league of nations and oversaw the destruction of Germany), lib right (created the federal reserve), auth left (started the first red scare), or lib left (screened Birth of a Nation at the white house), there's something to hate for everyone!
amen to that
No, liberals should like Woodrow Wilson because of how liberal he was on economics. Wilson laid the foundation for the rise of modern liberalism in the United States and the rise of FDR and LBJ as president. Conservatives and libertarians have every reason to oppose Wilson and FDR and LBJ because they were very liberal.
@@abrahamlincoln937 Just because they agree on one thing doesn't mean they would get along. I agree with some of the stuff Wilson said/did, but doesn't mean I support him.
@@DaddyDuckTown It’s not just economic policy in which they were similar. Wilson and FDR were liberal internationalists on foreign policy. Wilson pushed for the League of Nations and FDR and Truman pushed for the United Nations. The main difference between Wilson and FDR and Truman is that Wilson failed with the League of Nations while FDR and Truman were successful with the United Nations. Now pretty much everyone would denounce Wilson for being a racist and a segregationist. But liberals should support his economic and foreign policies. Conservatives and libertarians would understandably oppose Wilson’s economic and foreign policies. I think that Wilson was a mediocre president.
@@abrahamlincoln937 I mean you seem very educated when it comes to political history but race trumps a lot of other stuff for some people and that's all they think about because most people aren't logical and just like to categorize people as either good or evil. There is no room in their minds for nuance.
How do you do a video on WW without mentioning him establishing Jim Crow laws?
1915 gossip: "What did Mrs. Galt do when the President proposed to her? She fell out of bed..."
He promoted "Birth of a Nation" as historically accurate. That would be like if Trump talked about the Turner Diaries at his rallies.
Or 'Mein Kampf'.
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” ~ Woodrow Wilson
shame he didn't consider that before hand

He should have thought it was partially his fault.
pfoxworth7 it was all his fault
@@pfoxworth7 it was mostly his fault lol
And to think, he helped pave the way for the segregated Pentagon! Anyone who has toured it will note the many bathrooms, as alluded to in the X-Men prequel film. Pre-civil rights, the office building was built in Virginia, a segregated state that Wilson had no qualms profiting from in his time. His views on race are well documented, and his League of Nations was a forerunner to the United Nations. To call a certain film: Like writing history with a lightning bolt, is all you need to know about the man and his motives. A century later, and we're none the wiser for it 🤔
David Lloyd George done as much as Wilson and he did not maintain racist policies...
All he did was Butcher the Irish and the Indians!!
Are you kidding... Lloyd George was head of an empires government that was cruel and racist over1/6 of the world. Stop looking at pictures of Kate and start reading history !
He pretty much represents the growing pains of the Democratic Party moving form the 19th into the 20th Century. He carried on some of its gravest sins while simultaneously laying the philosophical groundwork that would lead it to evolving into what it is today.
thats a very good interpretation 👍
This comments section is just either "Wilson is one of the worst presidents" and "Wilson is one of the best presidents"
"December 7th, A Date /Day in History In Which Will Be Remembered in History!" "Franklin D. Roosevelt !"
Um...Woodrow Wilson only conjures up words like racism, internment camps, and a man who was a fan of eugenics
They should have talked way more about his racism. WAY MORE.
2nd post: No, Wilson's league of Nations couldn't have prevented WWII. WWII started from multiple things like Treaty of Versailles, the "stab in the back" (what Germans thought the Kaiser did, remember, no one stepped foot into Germany during the war), the rise of USSR (bc of Germany helping Lenin to overthrow the Czar so Germany could get them out of the war), the stock market crash (this had a major affect in Germany bc of the Treaty, bread alone costed millions of Deutchmarks), etc. etc.
Yes, plus he laid the foundation for the Second World War by insisting Germany bare the full responsibility for the start of WWI. He had terrible relations with Mexico, killed 'many' civilians when his Gunboats bombarded Veracruz. Wilson's high ranking is due to the fact he was associated with Harvard, so all the Ivory Tower academic revisionists love him.
And that he is a big government Democrat
Well realists they're not.
He was Dead set AGAINST What Brits and French wanted in that Treaty!! They hide that sorta Stuff in History Books!! He KNEW What the Repeerations were gonna cause and do to the Germans and there Government
as much as I hate woodrow wilson, I'd disagree with "he laid the foundation for the Second World War " that his 14 points were way better than the treaty of versailles which lead to a radical hitler taking control of germany
He brought the FED and then your American Dream took a lot of interest goodnight Freedom !

When I think of Woodrow Wilson I think of how much I loath his politics. He's the first hardcore liberal progressive as President. He didn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, just like Obama (who damn sure didn't) didn't.

Wilson was the only person at Versailles arguing against the punishment of Germany. The "parasites" that laid the road to WW2 were England and France.
@@JacksonTyler wilson refused to enter ww1.....which lasted longer and was bloodier had he stopped being a pansy and dove in like teddy would have. Because it was so very bloody france and brittain rightfully wanted pay back. Wilson made it WORSE with his preachy fantasyland 14 points bs. It was essentially waving a red flag at a bull (england and france). He also, by makeing ww1 drag on, led to russia implodeing and the cold war later on. woodrow wilson was not a man of peace. He invaded mexica atleast 3 times as well as many other central/south american nations. He was a hardcore racist. He set up american policy as being an interventionalist. We still feel these effects today. He is the worst american president since the founding of the nation.
libertarianwho hatesdemsandreps I am not a fan of Wilson, I just wanted to correct your statement about WW1-2. WW1 was not bloodier nor longer.
WW2 had tens of millions more casualties, both civilian and military.

WW2: 1939-1945 (much longer if you start it when Japan invades China in the early 1930’s)
