Woodrow Wilson was only the second Democrat elected president since the [[Civil War]], and he 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.<ref>https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/11/wilson-legacy-racism/417549/</ref> Military bases, post offices, and federal buildings 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.
