Woodrow Wilson was practically a card carrying member of the KKK.
He actually removed African Americans from Government jobs that they had been at for years and replaced them with whites.
His administration imposed full racial segregation in Washington and hounded from office considerable numbers of black federal employees.
Wilson and his cabinet members fired many black Republican office holders in political appointee positions.
In 1914, he told the New York Times, "If the colored people made a mistake in voting for me, they ought to correct it"
Madam CJ Walker became a central figure in black leadership and one of the first black philanthropists AND the first FEMALE millionaire in this country.
She once traveled to the White House with other leaders to present a petition to Woodrow Wilson.helping lead the protest against lynching.
He declined to see them.
He singlehandedly set race relations in this country back 100 years.
Wilson also had harsh words to say about immigrants in his history books.
Woodrow Wilson had the United States interven in Latin America more that anytime in our history.
We landed troops in Mexico in 1914, Haiti in 1915, and the Dominican in 1916. Wilson would maintina forces in Nicaragua, using them to determine its president and to press passage of a treaty preferential to the United States.
So, basically Wilson INVADED Mexico, Haiti, the Dominican, and Nicaragua, and forced HIS choice of President into office there.
U.S. Marines invaded Haiti in 1915 and forced their legislature to select Wilson's preferred president.
And...get thisWilson had us invading and fighting in RUSSIA.
Russian textbooks give great detail to Wilson (in 1917) giving monetary aid to “White” side of the Russian civil war. After a short hold on front lines as far west as Volga, the White Russian forces broken by the end of 1919, our US troops would leave Vladivostock on April 1 1920. my source are
