Woodrow Wilson’s grandfather was an abolitionist newspaperman in Steubenville, Ohio.

Woodrow Wilson’s dad and mom moved south of the Ohio in 1851, bought slaves and rabidly supported slavery, favored secession, and always stayed Confederates at heart. Which was why Wilson was so racist himself.

And this is the man they sent to deal with the end of World War I.

    Are you in the practice of leaving historian bait? You’ve got Wilson dead to rights here: he screened “Birth of a Nation” at the White House, and he’s one of my prime examples of how the Progressive Era was full of contradictions.
