While Roosevelt believed that trusts could be separated into 'good trusts' and 'bad trusts' based on their effects on the broader economy, Wilson had argued for breaking up all trusts during his 1912 presidential campaign. In December 1913, Wilson asked Congress to pass an anti-trust law that would ban many anti-competitive practices. Du Bois—a leader of the NAACP who had campaigned for Wilson believing he was a 'liberal southerner'—was offered an army commission in charge of dealing with race relations; DuBois accepted, but he failed his army physical and did not serve. By 1916, Du Bois opposed Wilson, charging that his first term had seen 'the worst attempt at Jim Crow legislation and discrimination in civil service that  had experienced since the Civil War.'
