the democrat, woodrow wilson. wilson praised it, he thought it was great. he was absolutely a racist. and as i ref, denise, that doesn't mean that he would necessarily of approved of clansman, going around and lynching people. it's also important to understand that wilson was also a southern. he depended on votes and from the south for his position in the south. you had basically an electorate that was only white, and woodrow wilson could not afford to contradict him. ah, the birth of a nation gave the clan a nation wide audience for his part. joseph simmons was ambitious and felt his little business had a big future in store. and that meant he needed to advertise. so the imperial wizard hired to marketing experts, elizabeth tyler and edward clark. the 2 advertising specialists, understood how to help the organization make money. they concocted a pyramid scheme. there is a business to the client, and it's called klan members, a play membership fee and all the money that you pay every month, your dues go to the imperial wizard. and he uses that money to trav

and woodrow wilson could not afford to contradict him. ah, the birth of a nation gave the clan a nation wide audience for his part. joseph simmons was ambitious and felt his little business had a big future in store. and that meant he needed to advertise. so the imperial wizard hired to marketing experts, elizabeth tyler and edward clark. the 2 advertising specialists, understood how to help the organization make money. they concocted a pyramid scheme. there is a business to the client, and it's called klan members, a play membership fee and all the money that you pay every month, your dues go to the very wizard. and he uses that money to travel round and party with everybody at these dim clay enlightened ceremonies. he's cross light ceremonies. it pays his bills. he uses it to buy alcohol. he just, he doesn't work, he doesn't have a job. we have jobs, just a scale man. the whole thing is a scale. ah, the sermons, the meetings, and night time ceremonies drew in more and more people. in just a few months. the group went from 2000 to 300000

woodrow wilson was also a white supremacist, that is -- >> his father was a confederate minister. >> he was a racist. he'd not had. that franklin roosevelt didn't really do much for civil rights either. that's another theme, as i mentioned, in your book. this tension. it does start to break. there were other progressive developments in the country that helped each other, labor movement started to include blacks and others. by the time we reach the 1960s, we still have many southern democrats who are -- that's the whole they're going to die on. how has the democratic party, with lyndon johnson as president, finally get past that? >> one could argue, they never really got past it. they only got past it because -- >> at least to pass a couple of pieces of legislation. 64 and 65. >> 64 in 65. first of all, democrats had a huge majority in both the house and the congress. 64, they were only trying -- i think 30 republican senators, something like that. but also, northern republicans, in the house and the senate, voted for the civil rights act of the voting act. republican today point out,

so is teddy roosevelt woodrow wilson was also well white supremacist. that's not unfair to call him that his father was a confederate minister. yes. he was a racist. he did not hide that as well franklin roosevelt. didn't really do much for civil rights either and that's another theme as i mentioned in your book this tension, but it starts it does start to break. yeah, because there are other progressive developments in the country that you know, that kind of i guess these things they kind of a help each other right labor movement as you mentioned started to include blacks and others, but by the time we reached the 1960s, we still have a many southern democrats who are would or that's the hill they're going to die on. how does how does the democratic party with lyndon johnson as get past that. well one could argue never really did get past it only got past it because most at least at least to pass a couple of pieces of legislation always before 65. well 6465. first of all democrats huge majorities in both has the congress 64 they're only trying to remem

historical and cultural reserve on may 27, 1916, us president woodrow wilson called for the creationons at the end of the first world war. to the world, this organization was created by the american hydrogen, worried about the war in europe. wilson said the us quote is not outsiders observers interests of all. nations are our interests, it is believed that from that moment everything began according to the idea of ​​wilson. the league of nations was supposed to maintain peace on the planet, and they would have played a leading role in this, the united states, he achieved the inclusion of a provision on ligation in the versailles agreement in 1919 and for this he became a nobel peace prize laureate, but the american senate did not support the president and

he hated woodrow wilson, we are going -- he took no joy in wilson's victory. but i think he was also angry at the republican leadership for having denied him what he thought of as his delegates, the convention, he should have been their nominee. so it wasn't a lot of love lost between those two. i think he hoped to win. and he will try to get back into the good graces of the republicans in the last few years of his life, without a whole lot of success. they were pretty angry with him for what he did in 1912, but some people think he might have been a republican's nominee in 1920, had he lived that far. good question. well, a few things here to wrap up, then. after his time with president bull moose candidate in 1912, he leaves once again and this seems to be one of his ways of dealing with disappointment or a loss of power, go to the west. go to africa, go to south america. so he goes to brazil in 1913, 1914. it's not his initial plan to exploit unknown river, but that becomes the plan when he was down there, a brazilian official kind of suggested him offhand

first lady edith wilson's vision of that house was to be a standing legacy of woodrow wilson. the interpretation was very much, centered as you would imagine, on war with war one. wilson's war as the international statesman. the first in the period to hold that distinction on the world stage. and wilson the man, those were the two pillars of interpretation there. when you came to the house, those are the stories that were central, right? through the african american cultural heritage action fund of the national trust, the focus began, of course, to tell the fuller history. so when i joined i looked at the interpretation, i looked at what was on display that had for the most part remained unchanged since 1961. there has been shifts of objects, small objects here and there but as far as the experience and the topics that were covered it has remained that way until 2008, when i joined the team there. so i looked at it and i said, wilson the man? really? who are we talking about here if we're talking about telling a fuller history? the people! wilson and the people. there were two

he hated woodrow wilson. we'll come to hate him more as time went on. he took no joy and wilson victory, but i think he was also angry at the republican leadership for having denied him what he thought of as his delicates the convention. he should have been their nominee. there wasn't a lot of love loss between them too between those two either. i think he hoped to win. and he will try to get back into the good graces the republicans in the last few years of his life without a whole lot of success because they're pretty angry with him before he did in 1912, but some people think he might have been the republican's nominee in 1920 how he looked that far good question. well a few things here to wrap up then. after his time with the that's a bull moose candidate 1912. he leaves once again, and this seems to be one of his ways of dealing with disappointment or loss of power to go to the west to go to africa to go to south america. so he goes to brazil in 1913 and 1914. it's not his initial plan to explore an unknown river. but if he comes the plan when he's

wilson went abroad with woodrow wilson, the second mrs. wilson? correct? after the war?>> just before that, this is another topic that comes together, first lady scholars tend to look at when did first ladies begin to campaign with their husbands? so these opportunities to travel with the husband began to overlap with campaigning. some wives went, edith roosevelt went for example on trips when he was campaigning. not even always for himself. in part to see what he did. it was useful for first ladies or potential first ladies to see how they're husbands interact with the public. so edith, the second mrs. wilson, ellen wilson was widow wilson's first wife and she died in the white house. so when president wilson remarried, his second wife edith, went abroad with him during the time he was negotiating the treaty of versailles to conclude world war i. this was a very important moment for her to see her husband acclaimed centrally as the savior of the war. that was an important step forward, but even closer to your era, as lady bird johnson, the whistle stop. >> so even in th

ellen wilson was woodrow wilson's first wife and she died in the white house. so when president wilson remarried his second wife edith went abroad with him during the time. he was negotiating the treaty of versa to conclude world war one. and this was a very important moment for her to see her husband acclaimed essentially as the savior of the of the war. so that was that was an important step forward. but even your closer to your eras the lady bird johnson and the whistle stop. yes in the whistles up you and yeah, so even in the era of plane travel you of course had truman doing the the whistle stop and then ladybird in 64 as i mentioned, which was an incredibly important trip in that gave her a chance to travel and to begin seeing that it was okay for women to to campaign for their husbands to be surrogates. you know, that's one thing we haven't really talked about yet. is this whole surrogate ocean and how the wife can do a lot to restore a president's image and you mentioned frankie cleveland who became francis cleveland after she married you don't know he h

when woodrow wilson left office, it was over 70%. we went into a recession after world war i and those guys brought tax rates down to 25%. it launched a tremendous prosperity boom in the 1920's. i'm going to go one more. another of my favorite figures is ulysses s grant. he was arguably america's greatest generals -- they still teach some of his formations at west point. but grant come also as president, much maligned. my colleague at fox wrote a pretty good book about grant. but he did two things. economic things. he never gets credit. the liberal historians will never give him credit. but the fact is grant ended the civil war income tax. grant restored the greenback to gold. so we had massive wartime inflation and high wartime taxes and grant ended both and helped launch the second industrial revolution, which is sometime referred to disparagingly as the gilded age, but it was a phenomenal time in american life. just to be consistent, here is my guy grant, he's cutting taxes , harding, he's cutting taxes, kennedy is cutting taxes,

of republican votes between him and the incumbent taft permitted the election of the democrat woodrow wilson it was during this campaign that tr was the victim of an attempted assassination, in which during giving speech he was hit by and assassins bullet. it resulted in a superficial wound and a typical of roosevelts bravado, he continued the speech. i think most people having been shot would probably call it a day. but not the inimitable tr. after 1914 as the great war in europe waged, roosevelt was an ardent advocate of american intervention, no surprise there. in fact he petitioned than president wilson to let him raise a volunteer regiment a la the rough riders to fight in europe. roosevelt's son quinton was killed in the war, which some believe diminished roosevelts belligerent attitude. in any case, by the time he died in early 1919, not an old man. he was in his late fifties, i believe. in any case, roosevelt had already done enough to secure his legacy as one of america's greatest presidents. so what was that legacy? theodor roosevelt made many contributions to the progressive movem

employment and the right to rise in those jobs by african-americans was just thwarted and reversed by woodrow wilson. something some people do not often remember about his administration. warren harding was better on civil rights but if you do not allow your only black orator of the day to say what is in his heart and on his mind about lincoln's unfinished work, about the need to live up to his aspirations for equal justice, then you are still operating in an area of hypocrisy as mouton knew in his gut. so the nation was not yet ready to make strides, the jim crow era was upon us, confederate monuments were still rising in the former confederacy, and i think, looking back, and in my own work on this memorial, i focused on the arts, i focused on daniel because i wrote a biography of french and i think memorial itself focused on an incomplete american story. yes, sectional reunion was crucial to making america strong in the post-world war i era, leading up to the world war ii era. but making it strong for whom? that was a serious question that would remain unanswered until dr. king raised it forcefull

you go back to the 19th century you have thomas dixon who wrote "birth of a nation" and woodrow wilsonsm so blatantly in the oval office and then it became policy, a basis to justify racism and then what happened in 1915 that they played that movie and then nearly 100 black men were killed and in 1919 riots broke out all over the country. the krug was celebrated as somehow protecting the country from replacement and the people who did that also came against women's rights and labor movement and what do we do? i want to ask what did people do then when they had their pain? you know what they did? the naacp built a black/white coalition, not just a plaque response to this. what happened? women took those tears and won the right to vote. what happened? preachers starting preaching the social gospel movement like never before, white and black and raisinging the -- the harlem renaissance came and they started writing poems of resistance, if we must die threat not be like hogs. america has never been america for me. what happened in that period? what did they do with their tears? a. philip r

. >> i want to bring in the former ceo of the woodrow wilson center, and a former democratic congresswomanrnia. how big of a deal is the finland news? >> i think it's an earthquake. let's understand that finland has been neutral, and for all of these years since the end of world war ii, and now is it not, and it is -- it has picked a side, the side of the west, which makes total sense. it's right on the border of russia, and i think, you know, i am from california, so yes, it's an earthquake. i think one other thing, and i was just listening to your excellent reporting, and the strongest weapon on the side of the ukraine is the ukrainian heart. it's absolutely amazing how much those people will do, not just the soldiers but the citizens who are already cleaning up towns and the young sons coming back to the fight. it's amazing. it's a lesson in leadership for the whole world. i think the whole world is captivated by it. >> you are absolutely right. the fact is is they are defending their land, their soil and history and roots, their dreams and aspirations. president zelenskyy said that joi

there was a tradition a new tradition of large government from world war one woodrow wilson. we had nationalized a railroad the government had taken over a good share of the economy then untaken over it and the country was angry. we we don't have a monopoly on rudeness at this point, right? he was angry the ku klux klan was on the rise. there was much unemployment even 20% unemployment in some places jobs weren't where they were supposed to be. and there was the beginning of a downturn in agriculture and nobody knew quite with you. there was also an overwhelming federal debt from the war not was standing war bonds. so harding and coolidge run the republicans on normalcy, which i don't know about you but when i was a child and i heard about normalcy, i thought that's awful. they want us all to be normal. that isn't that way they want us to be pegs in halls. that's not what they meant at all when i went back and looking it's an awkward term normal see but what they meant was they want the environment to be kind of in middle and common sense. so that business can get back to wor
