Woodrow Wilson was a progressive president who advocated for an expanded role of the federal government in both economic and social affairs. While he disagreed with Theodore Roosevelt on strategies, Wilson pursued policies like antitrust laws, the Federal Reserve Act, and women's suffrage to challenge corporate power and privilege. However, Wilson also held racist views and pursued policies like segregating federal offices that were detrimental to civil rights.
