roosevelt to woodrow wilson twice. and i spent the last nine years of my life working on the fat man. and i was -- well, as a matter of fact justice brewer said that president taft was so nice and gentlemanly that on a streetcar he gave his seat to three women. that's true, by the way. that's really not my -- that's really not my point. i want to make three quick facts or a statement of facts to you. the first is -- this was after wilson had nominated him, after he ran for presidency. the second fact is that under taft more antitrust suits were furnished. and the third fact is that in terms of conservation, which roosevelt stood for and antitrust and trust busting, taft set aside more land than roosevelt ever did. now, why do us, why do we as historians have blinders that the end to skip from someone like roosevelt to someone like wilson, ignoring the thing in the middle? i would just point that out to you. >> i would say, look, there is many reasons for this. some are a political memory in which presidents we will cat

wils wilson's two leading biographers have written articles called "the case for woodrow wilson." his flaws should given us pause. perhaps it was wilson's position in the academy or as a founder of our discipline, i don't mean to get too psycho analytic. perhaps it's his knack for memorable phrases. put another way, wilson's biographers have argue the that the only fair assessment of wilson is that the good of the man outweighed the bad. you see this in the discussion princeton had renaming the woodrow wilson school, defending wilson to make this claim, the good outweighed the bad. the claims contained some disappointment in wilson's racist failings, but there are always just that. i want to echo a claim that sam made, that always just that, failings, not of a peace with who the man was, what he accomplished or the progressive politics he helped to popularize. to me, it feels a little odd to call up the descendants of black civil servants, or of haitians or jailed socialists and conscientious objectors and tell them, well, but the good outweighed the bad. the closest i know any sch

so yes, woodrow wilson left the south inknow, yes, woodrow wilson tried to get rid of his accent. yes, during his campaign, he worried that many southerns may see him as too radical and seeing his cabinet too southern. his constitutional thinking was much broader of the theory. at the same time, he spent his formative years, first two decades of his life in the civil war of the reconstruction south. he told southerner of the south of one place of the world where he does not need to be explained anything. he married a southerners and he surrounded himself with southerners and half of his cabin members were born in the south. his cam netbinet members who were closest to him -- in his administration and almost the whole time, they were southerners. woodrow wilson carries with him of a world view that's shaped in the civil world reconstruction south. it was changed and shifted. i would like to give three spoesk specific examples of how being a white southerners shape his legacy. first of all is his election. e three course of the nation voted for progressive candidates between rooseve

one of the world's great woodrow wilson experts -- in affect say one of the world's two great woodrow will son experts already teaches or on faculty. i found in the age of trump it's important to choose your words carefully so i want to tell you why i think they're both wilson experts. to my mind, professor knock has done more than anyone to tell us what woodrow wilson had to deal with, the history and me moment of woodrow wilson, to tell us what woodrow wilson confronted and how and the development of his own thinking in the world he lived inch professor tony smith has done more than anything to tell us why this matters. frankly, every president since wilson -- not a question for them of whether or not they are wilsonian but rather much. in fact the question that an nateed woodrow wilson, promotion of democracy, guides american foreign policy and might say haunt american foreign policy. what woodrow wilson said helps drive america today. which i why i am particularly pleased to have the author of this book "why will son matters" is a darn good book to come here and explain it to us a

woodrow wilson in the lives of these five young radicals? >> woodrow wilson is a complex and contradictory figure and i admire him and he makes me crazy so much of the time. he was like many of these five, he was an intellectual, he was a scholar. he wrote books about democracy, decided to go in politics and in less than three years went from someone who had never run for office to the president of the unitedstates . that's not novel today but it was in 1912 when he won. and what you see is the same sort of change happening for him area he was approachable to these radicals, max eastman got to see him quite a bit. walter whitman wassomebody , some newspaper reporters and whitman was the fair-haired board of the wilson administration. you see someone in wilson who is fighting for some of the right things. he's fighting to end economic justice and the horrendous income inequality of that era but he's also unbelievable racist, not by the standards of our area, by the standards of his. people at the time knew he had these retrograde views about

on april 2, 1917, woodrow wilson declared war on germany. in a crusade to make the world safe for democracy, congress ratified the declaration april 6, despite small but significant minorities in opposition. the proclamation notwithstanding, wilson was operating on hard, cold reality. he planned to exploit the anglo-french dependence on american loans to place a predominant role in the war efforts. by controlling the distribution of american money and resources, the united states was woefully unprepared to fight a land war in 1917. the belief that the war would continue to be increasing exhaustion on both sides convinced wilson and north americans that we would have the time to create an army of young, fighting men, thereby enabling the united states to play a major role in winning the war so that wilson could dictate the peace. wilson fought and points that the league of nations would world peace. the war would last into 1919 and 1920. in any case, the world was aflame, and if the united states presumed to be a great power, it would have to

i arrived to the woodrow wilson center in 2005, it was my first time in washington, first time in america. i sent to christian and e-mail, he was already the dector for thwoodrow wilson untrained entrance -- i sent him a draft of the e-mail which was based on text documents and i was excited by the fact that he agreed to meet me so i knew i had to dress up to this special occasion. i still remember what i wore. i had black jeans, but not white shirt and a sweater with a zipper in the middle. i looked at myself in the mirror and thought i was dressed to kill. then i entered this building, the elevator stops at 45 and i got out and see all the people with suits and the cufflinks and the ties and i immediately realized i look like an albanian sheepherder. no offense to albanian sheepherders, they're not known for their sense of fashion.

they -- woodrow wilson said that america was entering world war i to make the world save for democracy but america for african-americans didn't feel very safe or democratic. so very unsure about going to fight for a political principles overseas they were just not receiving at home. so there were those kind of debates. but nonetheless, the major -- a large portion of african-americaned decided the best course of action was to serve, was to do the best they could in the hope that the service, that patriotism, that kind of energy, would be a kind of bargaining chip in a post war reconstruction, would gain them greater rights and be proof to the america at large about the value of their contributions and of their investment in the national project. the earliest kind of texas that it looked at was a little while after american entry. so some of the first stories african-americans are kind of considering is whether -- is what the attitude to service should be. pretty soon people are invested in wanting to serve. they wanted -- one of the earliest controversies was whether there would be afr

the presbyterian church which was woodrow wilson was a member of. in fact, calvinism in general was the opposite of the anglican church. so what we have here is a argument that democracy is something that is suited only to certain peoples who have had a certain cultural history to them. well, if that's the case, what are these cultural prerequisites? and here the more i read wilson, the more i became persuaded that there was the dog that doesn't bark x. the dog that didn't bark was calvinism. and it was particularly the covenant of the presbyterian church. this was the template for wilson of how democracy comes about. now, i don't know how many of you belong to the group of churches that today can be called affiliated with presbyterians in terms of their domestic organization, but it's not just churches. it's also reformed judaism and explains at least in part, i think, why wilson was so welcoming of jewish americans into princeton and then into his administration and also was protective of the notion of a jewish homeland in the far east. i mean, th

woodrow wilson had said america was entering world war i to make the world safe for democracy. but, of course, america, african americans very often didn't feel safe in the didn't feel very democratic. so very unsure about going to fight for political principles overseas, that they were just that receiving a dome. those kinds of debates. but nonetheless lots, a large proportion of affidavits of the best course of action in the war was to serve, was to do the best that they could in the hope that that service, that patriotism and that kind of energy would be a kind of bargaining chip in a postwar reconstruction would gain them greater rights. and would also be kind of proof to america at large about the value of their contributions and of their investment in the national project. the earliest kind of fiction that it looked at was a little while after american entry. some of the first stories that african-americans are kind of considering is whether, is what the attitude to service should be present people are invested in wanting to serve. one of the earliest controversies was wh

and next to him president , woodrow wilson, an interesting story about that engraving. armistead peter wanted the president to sign it so he sent it over to the white house and it president wilson sign it. another thing you are probably noticing is the extension cord off the chandelier. armistead peter iii recognized that his story of the house and did not want to tear up walls to put an additional electric outlet and to plug in an electric typewriter. so he had an extension cord run off the chandelier in this room. the desk in the office is a colonial revival copy of the desk george washington used as president in new york city. i think that's another connection the family was making to their relationship to george and martha washington. the office is really a time capsule as well and shows how the family really kept everything in the house. as i mentioned, armistead peter junior and his wife modernized the house in 1913-1914, adding electricity and the telephone system. here is one of the original telephones and it was actually an intercom system. right next to it is a

woodrow wilson supplied a theory both progressive and populace for using those capacities. presidents, he said, should engage in what he called interpretation meaning the discovery of what is in the hearts of the masses or what would be in their hearts if the masses were sensible. soon presidents were everywhere, moving about by railroad and by airplane. they were on the air by radio and television. america was on its way to today's notion of the president as tribune of the people, constant auditor of the nation psyche, molder of public opinio opinion. the hope of progressives was that by making popular or charismatic presidents, the focus of the nation's political consciousness, the public would be content to be governed by detached disinterested and anonymous experts who, because they were obedient to presidents would be cloaked in derivative democratic legitimacy. i have often thought the most important decision taken in the 20th century was the decision about where to locate princeton's graduate college. the college is located where it is, away from the man mean campus
