Woodrow Wilson destroyed the Reconstruction and reparations. He segregated the federal government and revived the Klan. He also rewrote the post-civil war history. These are the major reasons a household member despises Wilson. The damage of his racism was tragic, unnecessary, and ultimately, set us back as a country, and we are still dealing with the fallout.He screened Birth of a Nation at the WH. It sounds like something the current administration would do. They've f'd up the immigration system, and we'll be digging out from that for years, not to mention the damage it is doing to an entire generation of immigrants.
