If you bump that up to 110 years you bring in Woodrow Wilson, one of the all-time worst presidents.


I’m curious how you came to that conclusion. While he’s certainly not in the pantheon of best presidents, he ends up around the 75th percentile in rankings by historians. Even subtracting a few spots, he’s nowhere near close to “one of the all-time worst“. Or are you faulting him for not resigning when incapacitated by a stroke?

WWI plus all the racism, including re-segregation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson_and_race#Segreg...)
