'''Woodrow Wilson''' (born Thomas Woodrow Wilson; <ref>http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/1919/wilson-bio.html</ref>) (1856 - 1924) was elected as a Democrat as the 28th [[President of the United States of America]], serving from 1913 to 1921.  In 1917 he led the United States' entrance in to [[World War I]]; he played a dominant role at the versailles Conference that set the peace terms in 1919.  

 

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.

"Wilson, a liberal's liberal, was a Presbyterian elder who read the [[Bible]] daily; he felt 'sorry for the men who do not read the Bible every day.' The Bible, he argued, was 'the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life.' Wilson was prone to make explicitly Christian claims about his nation, even excluding the word ''Judeo'' from his characterization of the nation's religious heritage. 'America was born a [[Christian]] nation,' claimed the great liberal in 1913. 'America was born to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness which derived from the revelations of Holy Scripture.' "<ref>God and George W. Bush (New York: Regan Books, 2004), p. 175</ref>

Wilson also had this to say about the Bible: <blockquote>"The Bible... is the one supreme source of revelation of meaning of life, of the nature of God and the spiritual nature and need of men.  It is the only guide of life which really leads the spirit in the way of peace and salvation.<ref>The Rebirth of America (1986), Arthur S. DeMoss, Pg. 37</ref></blockquote>

Woodrow Wilson has come under scrutiny in recent years for his position on segregation, most notably within for federal jobs.
