Woodrow Wilson was the son of a preacher who grew up in the south after the [[Civil War]]; his mother was a British woman, Janet Woodrow or [[Carlisle]]. Because of this he knew a great deal about the humiliation, economic ruin and shame that the loser of a war experiences and the hatred that grows from this. This insight helped him make a forgiving plan for peace called the [[Fourteen Points]] to end World War I.  It was never adopted the way he had hoped.
