When Wilson released the message to the press on March 1 who had been reelected in 1916 on the slogan “He kept us out of war,” reluctantly concluded that war was inevitable In his speech before a special session of Congress took the moral high ground and declared that not only had America’s rights as a neutral been violated but that “The world must be made safe for democracy.” Americans must fight “for the rights and liberties of small nations” and to “bring peace and safety to make the world itself at last free.” This document is available on DocsTeach, the online tool for teaching with documents from the National Archives. Find teaching activities that incorporate this document, or create your own online activity I have called the Congress into extraordinary session because there are serious which it was neither right nor constitutionally permissible that I should assume the responsibility of making On the third of February last I officially laid before you the extraordinary announcement of the Imperial German Government that on and after the first day of February it was its purpose to put aside all restraints of law or of humanity and use its submarines to sink every vessel that sought to approach either the ports of Great Britain and Ireland or the western coasts of Europe or any of the ports controlled by the enemies of Germany within the Mediterranean That had seemed to be the object of the German submarine warfare earlier in the war but since April of last year the Imperial Government had somewhat restrained the commanders of its undersea craft in conformity with its promise then given to us that passenger boats should not be sunk and that due warning would be given to all other vessels which its submarines might seek to destroy when no resistance was offered or escape attempted and care taken that their crews were given at least a fair chance to save their lives in their open boats The precautions taken were meager and haphazard enough as was proved in distressing instance after instance in the progress of the cruel and unmanly business but a certain degree of restraint was observed The new policy has swept every restriction aside have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom: without warning and without thought of help or mercy for those on board the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belligerents Even hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely bereaved and stricken people of Belgium though the latter were provided with safe conduct through the proscribed areas by the German Government itself and were distinguished by unmistakable marks of identity have been sunk with the same reckless lack of compassion or of principle I was for a little while unable to believe that such things would in fact be done by any government that had hitherto subscribed to the humane practices of civilized nations International law had its origin in the attempt to set up some law which would be respected and observed upon the seas where no nation had right of dominion and where lay the free highways of the world... This minimum of right the German Government has swept aside under the plea of retaliation and necessity and because it had no weapons which it could use at sea except these which it is impossible to employ as it is employing them without throwing to the winds all scruples of humanity or of respect for the understandings that were supposed to underlie the intercourse of the world I am not now thinking of the loss of property involved but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of noncombatants even in the darkest periods of modern history Property can be paid for; the lives of peaceful and innocent people cannot be The present German submarine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind in ways which it has stirred us very deeply to learn of but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have been sunk and overwhelmed in the waters in the same way Each nation must decide for itself how it will meet it The choice we make for ourselves must be made with a moderation of counsel and a temperateness of judgment befitting our character and our motives as a nation Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious assertion of the physical might of the nation When I addressed the Congress on the twenty-sixth of February last I thought that it would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms our right to use the seas against unlawful interference our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence Because submarines are in effect outlaws when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers visible craft giving chase upon the open sea It is common prudence in such circumstances to endeavor to destroy them before they have shown their own intention The German Government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has proscribed even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before questioned their right to defend The intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pirates would be Armed neutrality is ineffectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensions it is worse than ineffectual: it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is practically certain to draw us into the war without either the rights or the effectiveness of belligerents we are incapable of making: we will not choose the path of submission and suffer the most sacred rights of our Nation and our people to be ignored or violated The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life With a profound sense of the solemn and even tragical character of the step I am taking and of the grave responsibilities which it involves but in unhesitating obedience to what I deem my constitutional duty I advise that the Congress declare the recent course of the Imperial German Government to be in fact nothing less than war against the government and people of the United States; that it formally accept the status of belligerent which has thus been thrust upon it and that it take immediate steps not only to put the country in a more thorough state of defense but also to exert all its power and employ all its resources to bring the Government of the German Empire to terms and end the war It will involve the utmost practicable cooperation in counsel and action with the governments now at war with Germany the extension to those governments of the most liberal financial credit in order that our resources may so far as possible be added to theirs It will involve the organization and mobilization of all the material resources of the country to supply the materials of war and serve the incidental needs of the Nation in the most abundant and yet the most economical and efficient way possible It will involve the immediate full equipment of the navy in all respects but particularly in supplying it with the best means of dealing with the enemy's submarines It will involve the immediate addition to the armed forces of the United States already provided for by law in case of war at least five hundred thousand men be chosen upon the principle of universal liability to service and also the authorization of subsequent additional increments of equal force so soon as they may be needed and can be handled in training the granting of adequate credits to the Government so far as they can equitably be sustained by the present generation I say sustained so far as may be equitable by taxation because it seems to me that it would be most unwise to base the credits which will now be necessary entirely on money borrowed to protect our people so far as we may against the very serious hardships and evils which would be likely to arise out of the inflation which would be produced by vast loans In carrying out the measures by which these things are to be accomplished we should keep constantly in mind the wisdom of interfering as little as possible in our own preparation and in the equipment of our own military forces with the duty- for it will be a very practical duty-of supplying the nations already at war with Germany with the materials which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance They are in the field and we should help them in every way to be effective there through the several executive departments of the Government measures for the accomplishment of the several objects I have mentioned I hope that it will be your pleasure to deal with them as having been framed after very careful thought by the branch of the Government upon which the responsibility of conducting the war and safeguarding the Nation will most directly fall and make very clear to all the world what our motives and our objects are My own thought has not been driven from its habitual and normal course by the unhappy events of the last two months and I do not believe that the thought of the Nation has been altered or clouded by them I have exactly the same things in mind now that I had in mind when I addressed the Senate on the twenty-second of January last the same that I had in mind when I addressed the Congress on the third of February and on the twenty-sixth of February is to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world as against selfish and autocratic power and to set up amongst the really free and self governed peoples of the world such a concert of purpose and of action as will henceforth insure the observance of those principles Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will We have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances We are at the beginning of an age in which it will be insisted that the same standards of conduct and of responsibility for wrong done shall be observed among nations and their governments that are observed among the individual citizens of civilized states We have no feeling towards them but one of sympathy and friendship It was not upon their impulse that their government acted in entering this war It was not with their previous knowledge or approval It was a war determined upon as wars used to be determined upon in the old unhappy days when peoples were nowhere consulted by their rulers and wars were provoked and waged in the interest of dynasties or of little groups of ambitious men who were accustomed to use their fellow men as pawns and tools Self governed nations do not fill their neighbor states with spies or set the course of intrigue to bring about some critical posture of affairs which will give them an opportunity to strike and make conquest Such designs can be successfully worked out only under cover and where no one has the right to ask questions Cunningly contrived plans of deception or aggression can be worked out and kept from the light only within the privacy of courts or behind the carefully guarded confidences of a narrow and privileged class They are happily impossible where public opinion commands and insists upon full information concerning all the nation's affairs A steadfast concert for peace can never be maintained except by a partnership of democratic nations No autocratic government could be trusted to keep faith within it or observe its covenants Intrigue would eat its vitals away; the plottings of inner circles who could plan what they would and render account to no one would be a corruption seated at its very heart Only free people can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own Does not every American feel that assurance has been added to our hope for the future peace of the world by the wonderful and heartening things that have been happening within the last few weeks in Russia Russia was known by those who knew it best to have been always in fact democratic at heart in all the intimate relationships of her people that spoke their natural instinct The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure long as it had stood and terrible as was the reality of its power or purpose; and now it has been shaken off and the great generous Russian people have been added in all their naive majesty and might to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the world Here is a fit partner for a League of Honor One of the things that has served to convince us that the Prussian autocracy was not and could never be our friend is that from the very outset of the present war it has filled our unsuspecting communities and even our offices of government with spies and set criminal intrigues everywhere afoot against our national unity of counsel Indeed it is now evident that its spies were here even before the war began; and it is unhappily not a matter of conjecture but a fact proved in our courts of justice that the intrigues which have more than once come perilously near to disturbing the peace and dislocating the industries of the country have been carried on at the instigation and even under the personal direction of official agents of the Imperial Government accredited to the Government of the United States Even in checking these things and trying to extirpate them we have sought to put the most generous interpretation possible upon them because we knew that their source lay not in any hostile feeling or purpose of the German people towards us (who were but only in the selfish designs of a Government that did what it pleased and told its people nothing But they have played their part in serving to convince us at last that that Government entertains no real friendship for us and means to act against our peace and security at its convenience That it means to stir up enemies against us at our very doors the intercepted note to the German Minister at Mexico City is eloquent evidence We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a Government we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of its organized power always lying in wait to accomplish we know not what purpose there can be no assured security for the democratic Governments of the world We are now about to accept gauge of battle with this natural foe to liberty and shall spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its power now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense about them to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples the German peoples included: for the rights of nations great and small and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their way of life and of obedience Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty no material compensation for the sacrifices we shall freely make We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind We shall be satisfied when those rights have been made as secure as the faith and the freedom of nations can make them Just because we fight without rancor and without selfish object seeking nothing for ourselves but what we shall wish to share with all free peoples conduct our operations as belligerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for I have said nothing of the Governments allied with the Imperial Government of Germany because they have not made war upon us or challenged us to defend our right and our honor avowed its unqualified endorsement and acceptance of the reckless and lawless submarine warfare adopted now without disguise by the Imperial German Government and it has therefore not been possible for this Government to receive Count Tarnowski the Ambassador recently accredited to this Government by the Imperial and Royal Government of Austria-Hungary; but that Government has not actually engaged in warfare against citizens of the United States on the seas of postponing a discussion of our relations with the authorities at Vienna We enter this war only where we are clearly forced into it because there are no other means of defending our rights It will be all the easier for us to conduct ourselves as belligerents in a high spirit of right and fairness because we act without animus not in enmity towards a people or with the desire to bring any injury or disadvantage upon them but only in armed opposition to an irresponsible government which has thrown aside all considerations of humanity and of right and is running amuck and shall desire nothing so much as the early reestablishment of intimate relations of mutual advantage between us,- however hard it may be for them to believe that this is spoken from our hearts We have borne with their present Government through all these bitter months because of that friendship,-exercising a patience and forbearance which would otherwise have been impossible still have an opportunity to prove that friendship in our daily attitude and actions towards the millions of men and women of German birth and native sympathy who live amongst us and share our life and we shall be proud to prove it towards all who are in fact loyal to their neighbors and to the Government in the hour of test as true and loyal Americans as if they had never known any other fealty or allegiance They will be prompt to stand with us in rebuking and restraining the few who may be of a different mind and purpose it will be dealt with with a firm hand of stern repression; but it will lift it only here and there and without countenance except from a lawless and malignant few which I have performed in thus addressing you it may be many months of fiery trial and sacrifice ahead of us It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars civilization itself seeming to be in the balance and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts,-for democracy for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own Governments for the rights and liberties of small nations for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free To such a task we can dedicate our Eves and our fortunes every thing that we are and everything that we have with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her

Chris Cox’s biography of the 28th president reads like a long overdue reassessment of a man who doesn’t stand up well to contemporary scrutiny Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn Christopher Cox describes uber-progressive Woodrow Wilson as “superbly unsuited” for the twilight of the Progressive era that witnessed the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment establishing women’s suffrage “All of us who are Woodrow Wilson’s heirs owe it to ourselves to remember the man in full stripping away the hero worship and absorbing the difficult lessons from his legacy on matters of race while paying ‘the reverence of old days to his dead fame,” writes Cox a former congressman and chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission now a scholar in residence at the University of California Cox ironically quotes here and in the subtitle from “Ichabod” (roughly translated from Hebrew as “inglorious”) a John Greenleaf Whittier poem inspired by abolitionist sentiments about the mourning of a leader fallen from grace During the tumult following the death of George Floyd unknown vandals defaced a statue of Whittier in the California city bearing his name with a “F--- Slave Owners” message That 2020’s statuary murderers went after an abolitionist poet speaks to the historical ignorance of those who use spray paint as a pen; it also helps account for the author’s motivation for writing this book Princeton has removed Wilson’s name from its school of public affairs whose racist statements made it into Birth of a Nation as epigrams while the mob sacked the likenesses of such diverse figures as Ulysses Grant Wilson’s sexism provides fodder for Cox’s 500-page takedown Cox explores how Wilson’s personal conduct foreshadowed his use of his public office Wilson from a subordinate position condescended in his dealings with Dean Martha Carey Thomas and generally dreaded (the feeling was mutual) teaching female students he stepped out on his first wife with Mary Hulbert; later still he would sic the Secret Service on Hulbert when he became a widower and opted to marry another woman Wilson cringed at women participating in the political process “He Kept Us Out of Suffrage,” joked his feminist critics who served a brutal term in confinement for protesting in front of the White House The charge involved not protesting but blocking the area’s broad sidewalks When it came to the civil rights of women and the civil liberties of everyone Wilson wanted to look as though he did the right thing Cox writes of Wilson asking an appointee about the conditions at the D.C “Immediately after receiving the president’s inquiry Gwynn] Gardiner had arranged for a psychiatrist to examine [Alice Paul]: the superintendent of St ‘the head of the profession for this purpose.’ Gardiner revealed that he had sought not only the psychiatrist’s advice but his ‘cooperation.’” Paul had criticized the nation’s leader and then wound up under psychiatric care—a pattern that repeated elsewhere during the last century the feds did not allow visitors for Paul and several fellow suffragists Her weight plummeted into the double-digits during a hunger strike protesting the bleak conditions behind bars Cox writes that “physicians of the time almost uniformly refused to [install a feeding tube in through a nostril] on rational patients who objected That is why the commissioners needed the ‘cooperation’ of Dr And that is why Alice Paul and Rose Winslow were now in the psychopathic ward being treated for unsoundness of mind.” Wilson’s federal government presided over all this The protests eventually forced the president to come out vocally in favor of the suffrage amendment Cox emphasizes that Republicans supported suffrage by more than the two-thirds necessary while Wilson’s party barely eked out support from a majority of its congressional delegation The amendment passed both houses of Congress in 1919 and became part of the Constitution the following year Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn is a compelling and long overdue reassessment of the 28th president Cox draws a convincing portrait of Wilson as a chauvinist on matters of race and sex the author at times makes a case against himself He notes that Wilson appointed William Jennings Bryan who admired “uber-racist Stephen Douglas,” that Wilson’s “hero worship of [Robert E.] Lee continued undiminished four decades later,” and that Wilson embraced the German system of higher education which Cox depicts as promoting an “ideology of racial superiority that would metastasize into the Third Reich’s religion of Aryanism.” Wilson’s concrete record seems damning enough without six-degrees-of-separation logic and indulging in the same presentism that animates the dullards who spray-painted slogans on John Greenleaf Whittier’s statue His treatment of the Creel Committee censoring the press the administration’s seizure of the railroads and Wilson’s transforming the Secret Service from a counterfeiting-enforcement outfit to a presidential plaything that spied on political enemies and former lovers will leave readers wanting more Less on the latter and more on the former probably would

The group considers requests concerning buildings, features, and programs at Hopkins through a thorough, deliberative, multi-step process culminating in submission to JHU President Ron Daniels and the board of trustees for approval The NRB can take several actions—keep the name as it is; retain the name but either relocate the named feature or add relevant interpretive information (contextualization); retain the name but with a recommendation to institutional leadership to redress community harm associated with the name through investment or other material means beyond contextualization; or recommend removing the name Posted in University News Tagged university history Travelers along the Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge should expect delays tonight and tomorrow morning owing to bridge maintenance “The Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge is scheduled for bridge maintenance openings from Thursday weather permitting,” the City of Alexandria said in an alert “There will be multiple openings and traffic stops during this timeframe.” Openings on the bridge can cause delays around the Beltway.

Mathews The Wilson revealed here is poles apart from the man who proposed the principled Fourteen Points pushed through a progressive income tax and child labor reforms named the progressive judge Louis Brandeis to the Supreme Court Cox shows Wilson to have been a thoroughgoing racist who resegregated the federal government and brought views of the Confederacy learned in his southern childhood to the White House The president was also profoundly contemptuous of women kept his true opposition to female suffrage carefully hidden and allowed the suffragists who silently held banners outside the White House to be repeatedly attacked by mobs This Wilson is also a dishonest and lazy man who believed that he was entitled to whatever he could get away with Cox does not attempt to offer a balanced portrait but rather highlights what many histories of Wilson have left out Reviewed By Jessica T.
