disillusionment, woodrow wilson's pass to re-election was far from certain. ultimately he became the first democratic president since andrew jackson in 1832 to be elected to two consecutive terms in office when he defeated supreme court justice hughes in the 1916 presidential election. foreign policy figured prominently in the election campaign. while it's true ultimately entry into the war in april 1917 produced a form of party truce in the interest of national unity, this did not shield the woodrow wilson administration from fierce congressional critici criticism, culminating in a break down of that truce with the league of nations. of course, the election took place while world woor i is being fought in europe. given this, and given hughes' lack of attention to the so-called mexican problem, most scholars argue that wilson's image as an anti-war candidate was reinforced by this campaign and not just by his facile slogan, he kept us out of war. >> dap matticly, the country remained neutral, at least formally towards the conflict in europe. we'll hear more a
