Do you think woodrow wilson was a bad president?

I'm writing a report on Woodrow, but I have the slightest clue what he's really done for the United States.

I heard just one time that he was one of our worst presidents.
Is that true?

What would make him such a bad president?

Wow. Some great answers. Interesting.

I think pretty much most or all presidents have sucked and the good things they did were in spite of their suckiness. A lot of times the best presidential decisions are pressured by society. Johnson made some great moves for civil rights, but his teeth were being pulled. Lincoln/the civil war wasn't so much about freeing the slaves, but uniting the states. FDR's new deal would not have come about w/o Eleanor and others around him (there was another woman too... very instrumental... I forget her name...).

You will probably never really use this information about Wilson, but its important to look at these developments and contradictions and to understand an example of how things happen.

Enjoy and keep an open mind.

naaa I really dont thing soo

As President of the United States, Wilson allowed his cabinet officials to establish official segregation in most federal government offices, in some departments for the first time since 1863. His administration imposed full racial segregation in Washington and hounded from office considerable numbers of black federal employees.

He authored laws to prevent child labor, and limited rail road workers to 8 hour days.

enacted the income tax...
wrote essays in support of the re-establishment of the KKK.

But then again, he and I both attended the University of Virginia...lol, so he obviously was intelligent...

not only was he a bad president, he himself said that he made a mistake that would ruin this nation. he is the reason we have the central and world banks controlling our economy! 1913 was the year of the federal reserve act and woodrow was president!

yes he is, maybe the worst because he signed the federal reserve act of 1913. this ack is the reason that working class people suffer at the hands of the few! the federal reserve is a privately owned company that congress has delegate to print our money. the congress of the united stated cannot constitutionally delegate it's authority to coin and value the money for the united states to any group, that is the responsibility of only the CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and not the central banks!
