7 Meaning of Wilson s Win? Wilson wins with 41%. Wilson gets fewer votes than Byran in any of his three defeats. Taft-TR combined had 1.2 Million more votes Progressives (Wilson and Roosevelt) together got far more votes than Taft. Thus, Progressivism was the winner.

Senate attempts to gut it. What does Wilson do? What happens to it? Graduated income tax under the authority of the 16th Amendment

12 Wilson Battles The Bankers US financial system is antiquated. Most serious problem is the inelasticity of the currency money reserves heavily concentrated in NY and a few other large cities could not be mobilized easily to places under financial stress The republicans favored a Third Bank of the United States with 15 branches. Wilson opted for a decentralized bank in federal hands. Why?

13 Federal Reserve Act Federal Reserve Act: most important piece of economic legislation between the Civil War and the New Deal. Federal Reserve Board How organized, managed and owned Empowered to issue federal reserve notes backed by commercial paper Purpose?

14 The President Tames The Trusts Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 Clayton Anti-Trust Act of 1914 Strengthened Sherman Anti-Trust Act by lengthening the list of unfair trade practices. labor and agriculture. Provisions on strikes and picketing

16 Wilson s Blind Spot Wilson s one failure in broadening the rights of the downtrodden was Blacks. He increased segregation in the Civil Service and generally had a very blind eye even a hostile eye toward concerns of blacks regarding civil rights. Proclaimed Birth of a Nation an important insight into history.

17 New Directions In Foreign Policy Wilson s had a much different view of foreign policy than either Roosevelt or Taft. Attitude toward TR s big-stickism and American imperialism. Attitude toward dollar diplomacy. Wilson looked at foreign policy issues through the lens of moralism. What was the thesis of Wilsonian foreign policy. Ironically, he intervened in foreign countries MORE than had Roosevelt of Taft.

18 Wilson Foreign Policy Jones Act of 1916: What did it do for the Philippines? Wilson continued republican policy of intervening in Caribbean affairs. Sent the Marines into Haiti in 1915 Same year sent marines into the Dominican Republic to quell riots. Why was Caribbean increasingly important to US? Purchases the Virgin Islands in the West Indies from Denmark in 1917

19 Caribbean Intervention

20 Moralistic Diplomacy In Mexico Huerta becomes president. Wilson refuses to recognize him. Why? Carranza and Pancho Villa. Tampico dispute US seizure of Vera Cruz. Germans Carranza v. Villa Columbus, NM raid

21 US Invasion of Mexico Wilson and America are outraged. He sends General Pershing across the border to capture Villa. Pershing chases Villa across northern Mexico but can t find him. Mexicans love seeing the inept Americans floundering around in the desert. Wilson withdraws in 1917 as war for America looms in Europe

22 Road to WWI Serb patriot killed Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the throne of the Austria-Hungary empire in Serajevo in Austrians blame Serbia. Backed by Germany, send stern ultimatum to Serbia Serbia backed by Russia, mobilizes, menacing Germany on the east. France mobilizes on Germany s other side. Germans strike at France through Belgium.

24 A Precarious Neutrality Americans had no desire to get involved. Wilson neutrality proclamation Trade with belligerents allowed? Impact on US economy?

25 A Precarious Neutrality US population overwhelmingly in support of allies and staying out of the war. Reasons citizens favored allies? Wilson saw himself as the neutral arbitrator above the fray and hoped to be called upon to negotiate a peace. He calls for peace without victory.

26 America Earns Blood Money Orders from European nations quickly snap us out of recession and starts a business boom. US banks provide a great deal of financing to the allies. International law on trade with combatants Shipping causes strain with combatants. US trade is a much greater benefit to Allies than Axis. Why? British Blockade

27 U-Boats Feb German U-Boat war around the British Isles. Sank merchant ships headed to England without warning. German actions violate international law. How? Why does Germany do it? What did Germans pledge? In the early months of 1915 German U-boats sink about 90 ships.

28 Lusitania May 1915 Germans sink the British passenger liner the Lusitania killed including 128 Americans. It was secretly carrying munitions in cargo compartment US public outraged.

29 Sussex Pledge Americans on the east coast started drumming for war. But Midwest is very isolationist. Wilson does not want war. Why? TR tried to push Wilson into the war. Wilson s warning to Germany. German Sussex Pledge US nevertheless at the brink of war. Why?

30 Wilson Wins Reelection In 1916 Wilson faced a tough battle in Progressive renominate TR, but he refuses to run. Republicans nominate Charles Evans Hughes.
