The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show Woodrow Wilson: The Worst American President?
Who do we have to blame for much of America’s condition today?
Woodrow Wilson. A single look at Wilson’s doctoral thesis would have told us to be careful with him; it was on ending the American System and replacing it with monarchal system.
That’s what Wilson spent the next 8 years doing; 1913 being a pivotal year of it.
Did women get the right to vote? Yes, and thats a good thing that he did. Did workers get better protections? Yes, and thats a good thing he did.
However, the bad permanently changed the country: Income Tax, the Federal Reserve Act, The 17th Amendment, Prohibition, The First World War and many others.
America is permantly changed by the Wilson Presidency.
One editors note: I mispoke on the WWI Treaty of Versailles calling it the Treaty of Paris. Yes, there were many Treaties or Paris, but this was one one of them.
