About American Experience: The Presidents -- Woodrow Wilson

The Presidents: Woodrow Wilson is usually presented in two parts, each of which lasts about one hour and twenty minutes. This division provides a natural break in the historical narrative since Part One ends just as World War I begins:

Part One, “A Passionate Man,” chronicles Wilson’s rise from a Civil War boyhood in Georgia to become president of Princeton University and an outspoken champion of progressive reform. He is elected governor of New Jersey, then narrowly wins the presidency, accomplishing a remarkable agenda of reform in his first two years.

Part Two, “The Redemption of the World,” portrays President Wilson as he leads America through WWI, then brokers the Treaty of Versailles in an effort to fulfil his dream of making the world “safe for democracy” and to prevent another world war. His vision of world peace through the League of Nations, however, is struck down at home, and his health suffers so seriously that his wife becomes de facto chief executive.
