My blog assingment 7 is on Woodrow Wilson's backround. Woodrow Wilson was born December 26, 1856. He was raised in Staunton, Virginia during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Wilson was a lawyer and a history professor before he became the 28th president in the election of 1912. He believed in reforming education.a In 1914 when World War 1 was waging he refused to go to war in Europe instead offering to be a mediator. When Germany started killing sailors and sinking US ships he decided that there was no choice but to go to war. America officially went to war on April 4, 1917. On September 25, 1919 he got a cerebral haemorrhage which he didnt come back from. He finished his term and spent the rest of his life in retirement, he died on February 3rd 1924.
