Woodrow Wilson was only the second Democrat elected since the [[Civil War]] and believed that blacks were inferior. Wilson segregated Washington, D.C. and all federal buildings and installations throughout the country with separate bathrooms and cafeterias - even in states without [[Jim Crow Laws]]. Wilson, segregated the Army, wiping out 50 years of social progress that Blacks had made under Republican administrations. Military bases in Northern states - states that won the war - were transformed to resemble Southern plantations, with Blacks allowed to work in the kitchen, but couldn't dine with Whites and had to use their own separate restrooms.
