Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were in my opinion among the 2 worst presidents on foreign policy, despite being the 2 most lionized presidents.Mort Walker wrote: ↑20 Sep 2024 03:50 After the US civil war, integration of blacks had begun, but Woodrow Wilson 1913-1921, a Democrat, imposed many anti-black policies that went forward many years. Including removing key blacks appointed to federal positions hired by previous Republican presidents. Wilson also excluded blacks from federal government civil service. By the 1920s blacks who were making economic progress in the midwest & south were subjected to even more violence culminating with events like the Tulsa race riots.
The US military remained segregated until 1947. Roosevelt in 1936 refused to allow Jesse Owen’s visit the White House after his Olympics gold medal in track & field. Sundown towns across the US remained in place by local ordinances into the late 1960s and later. One has to wonder about the impact of US policies, after social programs enacted in the 1960s, have done to black families that are completed fragmented today.
Roosevelt backed the Japanese to fight the Russians in the East, and Wilson got the US involved in WW1 in Europe.
Both of these things led to WW2.
Furthermore, Wilson created the US Federal Reserve, which effectively put the US currency under a banking cartel.
