The Altered States of America: Woodrow Wilson’s Transformative Presidency
Manage episode 478391753 series 3479415
A lot can change in eight years, especially if you’re Woodrow Wilson from 1913-1921. Politically, he transformed the economy, strengthened the presidency, oversaw the prohibition of alcohol, and secured women’s right to vote - to say nothing of his leadership during World War I. Personally, he lost his first wife, fell in love again, got remarried, and suffered a debilitating stroke. Tony Rydberg and Ryan Rasmussen focus on the domestic side of Wilson’s two terms in office, which transformed the country, the world, and the man himself.
