I've noticed this board ranks the 28th President of The United States as one of the worst presidents of all time, yet I hardly read anything that depicts him in a negative light, aside from his prejudist views.
I mean, he's usually ranked among the top 5 presidents by historians. He won the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1919, helped the Allies win the war(I know he initially promised to keep us out of it), and had more than enough requirements to be a US president. He even looked like a model straight out of an intellectual catalog.
I feel one of his drawbacks is his botch in forming the League of Nations, which lead to his unpopularity that denied him a third term(his health wasn't in the best state either, so he would've died sometime into it, which he did in 1924 anyway).
I just don't get it. Can someone please explain.
