Why the backlash against Theodore Roosevelt & Woodrow Wilson in recent years?

[The Free North]

Wilson gave us the federal reserve, 8 hour work days, women the right to vote, anti-trust act, curtailed child labor, and so on.  For pre-FDR Presidents, he's easily second after Lincoln in terms of accomplishment.

Unless you were an anti-war supporter


In that case your constitutionally guaranteed rights were destroyed and you were probably thrown in jail.

He was also vehemently anti-immigrant.
