This strikes me as one of the craziest posts of all time, especially from a lib. Wilson played "Birth of a Nation" on a big screen in the White House. He single-handedly re-segregated the Civil Service. He presided over the implementation of the income tax (you might like that, but I don't). He signed the Alien (Espionage) & Sedition Acts - I might smirk at THAT, but wouldn't expect you to. He fumbled the Spanish Flu FAR worse than Trump and Biden did COVID, and 800K people died. He campaigned as "The man who kept you out of big wars," and jumped feet first into WW1. Just bottom 2-3 of all time, no question.

The more you read about Woodrow Wilson, the more is revealed to you that the online hatred of him is patently ridiculous

On May 10, 1773, King George III gave Royal Assent to the Tea Act. Though the Act did not impose any new taxes, the existing three-pence-per-pound duty had already been enacted by the Townshend Acts of 1767, it was crafted to rescue the financially struggling British East India Company. By granting the Company a monopoly on tea sales to the colonies and removing British export duties, it allowed the Company to sell its tea at a price far below that of smuggled Dutch tea. The strategy was clever: once colonists bought the cheaper, legally imported tea, they would inevitably pay the three-pence tax embedded in the price. This would establish a dangerous precedent, quietly accepting Parliament’s right to levy direct taxes on Americans who had no representation in that body. Essentially, the cheap tea was the bait. The hook was legitimizing parliamentary taxation and extending special government favors to a powerful, politically connected corporation

@RodDMartin @EWErickson As Lincoln said… Grant understood the arithmetic of the Civil War. He could replace his loses and Lee couldn’t. Grant fought exactly how the Union needed to in order to win the war.

Everyone loves asking: “If Grant was such a great general, how come he lost nearly every battle to Lee and suffered way more casualties?” Robert E. Lee himself had a very different answer. “I have carefully searched the military records of both ancient and modern history, and have never found Grant’s superior as a general. I doubt his superior can be found in all history.” — Robert E. Lee The entire question is built on two flat-out falsehoods. First: Grant didn’t “lose nearly every battle.” There was essentially ONE continuous campaign — from the Wilderness in May 1864 straight through to Appomattox in April 1865. Grant seized the initiative in the very first clash and never gave it back. Lee spent the rest of the war reacting to Grant’s moves. When Lee attacked in the Wilderness hoping the old forests and bogs would save him (like they always had), Grant didn’t retreat north like every previous Union commander. He simply disengaged, slid south, and flanked Lee again. Lee never dictated the terms of battle after that day. James Longstreet had tried to warn the Army of Northern Virginia: “We’ve never faced anyone like this man.” They didn’t listen. They learned fast. Second: The casualty comparison ignores that Lee was almost always the defender. Context matters. But the deeper truth is bigger than any single clash. Lee still fought war the old way — disconnected battles, win-loss record like a sports season. Grant fought the next war: coordinated campaigns across multiple theaters, using railroads, telegraph, navy, and engineers to keep relentless pressure until the enemy simply could not continue. Grant didn’t win by accident. He made contact and maintained it until victory was inevitable. Lee fought the last war. Grant wrote the blueprint for the next one. That’s why he was great. That's why he won. Change your mind yet? Drop your hottest take on Grant vs. Lee below. 🔥
