Some context, I love Woodrow Wilson a lot. A large reason for this is because of his many fantastic domestic achievements, some of which include banning child labor, 8 hour work days for railroad workers, and the federal reserve. However, many people when talking about him (completely justifiably I might add) mention his personal racism and the terrible things he did to set back Washington D.C in terms of racial integration. However, I've often seen these racial failings emphasized more than his domestic successes when discussing him (hell, one of the first posts involving Wilson that comes up here has someone actually refer to him as a monster of a human being). So, I was curious about what affected more people? Did Wilson's domestic achievements help more people, or were more hurt by his racist policies (both in the short and long term)? The one other thing I'd like to say is that I'd like to focus on his policies before World War 1. War is a different time than peace, and a lot of stuff can be somewhat justified in war that cannot be allowed during peace.
