#13: Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921)

During his presidency from 1913 to 1921, Woodrow Wilson was pivotal, steering significant legislation through Congress. By 1917, Wilson had made a compelling case to Congress, arguing that the United States could no longer afford to stay neutral in the escalations of World War I.

He enacted significant reforms, such as the Federal Reserve Act and the Clayton Antitrust Act, aiming to regulate big businesses and promote fairness. Wilson’s commitment to peace was evident in his efforts to establish the League of Nations. Despite controversies, his ideals of democracy and diplomacy resonate, securing enduring favor.
