==Southern Conservative==
No. Any time I hear this nonsense that Wilson was some kind of conservative - and historians are fond of doing this - it demonstrates not just a lack of actual historical knowledge but instead it actually highlights historical malpractice. The following paragraph opening is what is paradoxical, not Woodrow Wilson:
<blockquote>Wilson was a very complex man filled with paradox. He was a southern conservative—an elitist with a profound distrust of radical ideas and such left-wing populists as William Jennings Bryan, but became the Democratic Party's most effective advocate of advanced progressivism. He rejected the doctrine of the Founders of the Republic in the preface to the Declaration of Independence....</blockquote>
If he rejected the Founders and the Declaration then he wasn't a conservative of any kind. End of sentence. Paradox solved. [[User:Progressingamerica|Progressingamerica]] ([[User talk:Progressingamerica|talk]]) 18:55, 9 December 2019 (EST)
