that is the woodrow wilson model. sunday created himself and basically that began to spread across the country. now, here is a new one for you. woodrow wilson became, or i should say, woodrow wilson have the most meteoric rise in american history. it's a big one. but i understand here's how. in 1910, woodrow wilson was the president of a small men's college in new jersey. and by that i mean it was a small men's college, not if mom and's college. [laughter] although james madison did go to princeton. [laughter] 1771. so it cuts both ways for him. here is the important thing. october 1810, woodrow wilson is still the president of the school the middle of new jersey. okay, a small college. now if you can believe this, new jersey was the most corrupt state in the union in 1910, which had the most corrupt political machine in the union, the democratic regime i should mention. they thought we need a puppet. but it's a squeaky cleanest puppet in the state. who can break at? why don't we go to that squeaky clean professor, th

and edith wilson, the wives of woodrow wilson. and then the resolution that d funds the health care law. -- defunds the health care law. >> this is the woodrow wilson house, the home of edith wilson after they left the white house in 1921. you will be seeing more over the next two hours as we tell the the two wilson first adies, ellen and edith. theirand woodrow met in 20 costs, and their love was reflected in passionate letters. fromelped guide his career academia to politics. set an example for future first ladies. year and a half of his term. edithieving president met , and she served as first lady for five years. her unprecedented role in managing affairs is one of the most consequential efforts of any first lady. good evening, and welcome to our continuing series. the wilsonry of first ladies. christine miller is a biographer f the first ladies. mr. cooper is woodrow wilson's biographer. we are going to break precedent. thesee been telling stories chronologically, but everyone knows about edith wilson managing the white house

woodrow had a great strategy. beforehad a girlfriend and she had refused his offer of marriage and so i think he was once burned twice shy. so he had decided that he was going to propose to ellen just before getting on the train to go to baltimore and attend johns hopkins in political science. so that if she refused him, there would be no awkward lingering as he later said. so they had met each other by chance in this town where neither of them lived. they were just passing through and he persuaded her to stay for a couple of extra days and meet his family. when she -- when he proposed to her, she was so startled that she blurted out yes. she had meant to, but she blurted this out and they had hardly known each other. but he was going off to study for two years, so they had a theyear engagement, since didn't know each other very well, it was the marvelous letters through which they isame intimate. >> mary kay watching us in san rafael california. you are on the air. thank you so much for the series. i was wonderin

woodrow wilson was born in 1856. his first memory is being told that lincoln got elected president and because of that there was going to be a great war. and he grew up literally remembering the war and reconstruction. so this is a man forged in the south and forged in 19th century southern thinking where slavery was just part of life. i grew up with a father who was a preacher who preached that the bible supported slavery. that this wasn't an unchristian act. so i think where i tried to get him to the book, i think it's probably above all that, a political reason for wilson's racism, at least for its lingering. and that is he came into washington with this great progressive agenda. and i think he knew he couldn't get anything passed unless he had the southern block of senators behind him. and there was no way he feels going to get anything done unless he made some -- some acts in their favor. and that meant introducing jim crow to washington. >> so let's say someone watching us who had wilson up to here. they read f

woodrow had a great strategy. he had had a girlfriend before and she had refused his offer of marriage and so i think he was once burned twice shy. so he had decided that he was going to propose to ellen just before getting on the train to go to baltimore and attend johns hopkins in political science. so that if she refused him, there would be no awkward lingering as he later said. so they had met each other by chance in this town where neither of them lived. they were just passing through and he persuaded her to stay for a couple of extra days and meet his family. when she -- when he proposed to her, she was so startled that she blurted out yes. she had meant to, but she blurted this out and they had hardly known each other. but he was going off to study for two years, so they had a two-year engagement, since they didn't know each other very well, it was the marvelous letters through which they became intimate. >> mary kay is watching us in san rafael california. you are on the air. caller: thank you so much for

i do not think we have seen that in woodrow wilson. i would say, even, this connects the racism, in a way. what i learned about wilson is that nothing is black and white and even his racism -- i do not think it is your lens -- -- vi --he did not want to keep the black man down. he thought that the country was not ready for the races to mix. he always kept the door open at the white house. in and they were welcome in the white house. it concerns him but he did not know how to deal that. it was wrongheaded then and when you look at a century later, it was quite backward. >> admiral grayson and his doctors. enough,if you wait long these papers keep surfacing. we are a young country. later, some fascinating papers have been discovered in a garage that grayson, who was l and his personal physician. he became a confidant. there are truckloads of dr. grayson's papers and he kept meticulous notes -- he literally had his hand on the pulse of the president. yearsk notes in the last of the wilson presidency, when he collapsed and had a stroke tha

woodrow wilson's first ladies. you have conclusions and i want to close with you alking a little bit about this. edith wilson undeniably had an impact on history. she took over after woodrow wilson's stroke. she probably would have join the league of nations. you write regardless whether she had an effect on international relations her actions almost certainly changed american constitutional law. her assumption of power during woodrow wilson was well known to the drafters of the president's amendment. this is the part i wanted to go to. edith wilson did not use the power of presidential spouse as constructively as she might have. provided a good role model for american women in wartime. o this is what we should think about edith's role in the white house? >> unfortunately, her biggest contribution is whatnot to do en as late as 1987, will sapphire was writing to nancy reagan writing a column saying -- don't be an edith wilson. i'm afraid that's her legacy as first lady. >> thanks to both of you and telling us about

c-span: woodrow wilson is the other man on this cover. >> guest: yes, well woodrow wilson is the onei find the most puzzling. i mean he was in many ways an extraordinary figure, a great idealist, a man of great vision he was in some ways a great leader of the united states. i think he had a tremendous powerful oratory and he had an ability to inspire people but he had these failings. he failed to understand that people could oppose him and not be wicked. i mean he tended to think if you disagreed with him there was something wrong with you and it made him not very good at the usual cut and thrust and compromise of politics, and i think that in the end was part of his tragedy. he refused at the very end to compromise with the republicans on his treaty and it cost him very, very dear. c-span: now, the one man that's not on this cover, and it was a council of four as you point out, was orlando. >> guest: yes. c-span: who was orlando? >> guest: orlando was the prime minister of italy and he was considered one of the big four and the main, the body which made so many of the decisions. c-s

so whatever woodrow wilson brings back from paris, we're against it.n principles but in large measure a lot of it was strictly personal and political. >> we've heard that before somewhere. >> and woodrow wilson dreamed big but he left a broken man. you write, few if any figures in modern history held loftier dreams and endured greater pain than woodrow wilson. a lot of similarities between the challenges he faced and obama is facing today. he was also a communicator and gave 60 press conferences to the american people. >> in the first are these two m? when you compare wilson and obama facing different challenges, how do they differ? >> i think they differ in one big way, which is wilson believed very strongly in sustained dialogue. it was always a conversation going on between wilson and the american people and the congress. wilson strongly believed that those two branches, the executive and the legislative, should cooperate. they should literally cooperate the government. and so wilson was the first in over 100 years to deliver state of the union addr
