Woodrow Wilson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5473 words)
Thomas Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia in 1856 as the third of four children to Reverend Dr. Joseph Ruggles Wilson (February 28, 1822 Steubenville, Ohio–January 21, 1903 Princeton, New Jersey) and Janet Mary Woodrow (1830, London, England–April 15, 1888 Clarksville, Tennessee).
Wilson came of age in the decades after the American Civil War, when Congress was supreme—"the gist of all policy is decided by the legislature"—and corruption was rampant.
Wilson (born in Virginia and raised in Georgia) was the first president from any state that had joined the Confederate States of America to be elected since 1848 (Zachary Taylor, born in Virginia), and the first from there to take office since 1865 (Andrew Johnson born in North Carolina).
