1856-1924
President Wilson would do everything he could to keep America out of WWI. He was a very smart man who was from Virginia but raised in Augusta, GA. and knew the ugliness of war. Mr. Wilson fought on the side of peace. Even after we entered teh War he was still seeking a peaceful solution. He would be the father of the League of Nations after the War that would be the fore runner of the United Naitons years later.
It was during this time that his greatness was brought out as he spoke of peace and ways to maintain peace. He had suffered a stroke while in the White House and continued to serve with the aid of his wife. Woodrow Wilson had a vision of the future where the United States would be the nation to lead the world although the future that would be there to unfold as time would show a new war waiting in the wings.
