Woodrow Wilson was a bad president.

Woodrow Wilson was one of the only president to get a legislative agenda that very few other President's have equaled. His Agenda includes, the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, Clayton Antitrust Act. While the Keating-owen Act cause Child Labor it was still fixed later on. I will admit he wasn't the best President we've had but he's certainly not the worst, for one he was able to solve World War I, maybe not in the best way but it worked did it not? In 1919 he traveled to Paris to make the League of Nations to shape up the Treaty of Versailles, which congress denied after his wife had a stroke which caused him to leave office so it was never put together and in 1920 the Republican party denounced Wilson's policies. The Federal Reserve Act- The Federal Reserve Act was an act of Congress that set up America's banking systems in short, which allowed them to issue reserve notes (Now known as U.S. Dollars) and made Federal Reserve bank notes a legal tender. Before this the United States had almost no banking system that worked, while this policy expanded the need for American banking systems it provided for currency and credit to expand to follow the U.S. Economy at the time. Clayton Antitrust Act- The Clayton Act made both substantive and procedural modifications to federal antitrust law. Substantively, the act seeks to capture anticompetitive practices in their incipiency by prohibiting particular types of conduct, not deemed in the best interest of a competitive market. Policies toward blacks and women- I'm not sure if he was with the Woman's Suffrage act back in 1920 or not but he did get it signed, so he helped give voting rights to woman, and to be honest I don't know much about the policies he set towards blacks, if I had more time to study on this subject I would. Keating-Owen Act- The keating-Owen Act was indeed horrible, it caused for child labor and for children under 16 to be working in mine's? I do agree that this one was very very dumb. World War I- Woodrow Wilson tried to keep the United States Neutral for 2 1/2 years and had called for neutrality "in thought and deed" (textbook answers) while many Irish Americans, German Americans, Swedish Americans and Southern farmers saw this as good. However citizenry was constantly increasing the vision that Germany was the "villian" as I'll call it, after hearing news about atrocities in Belgium. The sinking of the passenger liner RMS Lusitania in 1915 defied international law, which caused America to be angry but we did not take action until after several warnings to German submarines kept sinking cruise liners or American ships that we're thought to be carrying secret supplies of Ammo (proven they probably we're) across the ocean. Woodrow Wilson than decided to take action against them. In 1919 he received the Nobel piece prize for his achievements in trying to establish the League of Nations and his actions in World War I. So he had some bad runs, but altogether he wasn't exactly a bad President he just didn't make all the right decisions especially when it came to the Keating-Owen Act. He may not be the best but he definitely isn't the worst.
