If anybody in this audience allows himself when thinking of this matter to think of the elections of 1920 I want to declare that I separate myself from him.
Woodrow Wilson
The Public Record
Woodrow Wilson was the 28th President of the United States, serving from 1913 to 1921. A member of the Democratic Party, he was born in Virginia and raised in Georgia before moving to New Jersey, where he became a prominent political figure. Wilson was a key leader of the Progressive Movement, advocating for reforms such as antitrust legislation and the establishment of the Federal Reserve System. His presidency is also noted for significant events such as the United States' involvement in World War I and his efforts to promote the League of Nations, an international organization aimed at preventing future conflicts.
Nothing has impressed me more, or impressed me more painfully, than the degree in which the rest of the world trusts us and looks to us.
I do not know when I have been as proud, as an American, as when I have seen our boys deploy on the other side of the sea.
The only thing in the world that is unconquerable is the thought of men.
America is believed in throughout the world, because she has put spirit before material ambition.
If we want a league of nations, we must take this league of nations, because there is no conceivable way in which any other league of nations is obtainable.
We would have to concentrate authority sufficiently to be able to use the physical force of the Nation quickly upon occasion.
