January 8, 1918, President Thomas “Woodrow” Wilson the 28th President of the United States addressed Congress with a historical speech. The delivery of this speech occurred at the Joint Session and this address is part of the document records of the World War I Archives. President Wilson outlined what is known as his Fourteen Points, which he believes were the correction that needed to be made in order to complete his plan of everlasting peace. President Wilson gave a brief history of the…

Theodore Roosevelt was born on October 27, 1858 in Manhattan, New York and he died on January 6, 1919 in Cove Neck, New York. He was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, governor, and naturalist. He also served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909.

He was the…

America’s Delayed Entry into the Great War In 1914 when World War 1 commenced, the United States retained firm neutrality concerning their entry into the war. In fact, Woodrow Wilson requested Americans to remain neutral in thought as well as in action. Although there was immense tension for America to become involved in the war, shock in the United States over the bloodbath in Europe gave way to gratitude that a wide ocean stood between America and the killing fields. Furthermore, the…

lasted decades but was only fully achieved through a plethora of civil disobedience acts, most notably the heads of the National Women’s Party (NWP) becoming political prisoners over their actions and the national uproar causing president Woodrow Wilson to back their cause. The…

I think Woodrow Wilson was a powerful leader. He has done many things to make sure we stay out of war and how to end the war as well. As the president he earned the people’s respect and got them to trust in difficult times. Unfortunately, he was not in the condition to argue his Fourteen points to be in the Treaty of Versailles as much as he should, but he got a few points in the treaty. At the beginning of the war Wilson didn’t want America to be part of it. As the war went on, however, he was…

Fire Girl (Arnella) In the city of Boo York, there was this girl who was born with special power. But she kept it a secret from everyone, even her best friend. She used to think that if she tells her best friend about the secret that she keeps to herself, her friend will start to think that she is very weird and all of that stuff. But she…

How does one cope with this prohibiting lifestyle? Playwright August Wilson had experienced this very oppression during the Civil Rights Movement and started using theatre as his way of coping with his painful past. His plays were a way for him to address political topics, express his emotions, and do things he would never be able to do out in the “white man’s world.” Decades after the Civil Rights Movement, in 1990, August Wilson wrote one of his more noteworthy productions called The Piano…

President Woodrow Wilson was reluctant to enter America into a European war for very solid reasons that were selfish on the behalf of America’s own future security as a nation. President Wilson delayed his request for a declaration of war to allow for America’s own internal conflict to settle and for the American people to unite under “… a single way of thinking”.1 Since the first shots of World War I, President Wilson has made several small steps in support of Britain and France through…

announced its neutrality. President Wilson tried to mediate, recognizing the devastating effects of the War on the country. However, peacekeeping efforts were not successful, mainly due to the fact that both parties haven't lost the hope to win the decisive battle (“Launched”, n.p). Germany’s refusal to stop attacking merchant and passenger ships, the violation of the “Sussex Pledge”, the American outraged public, and the “Zimmerman Telegram” all pushed President Wilson to declare war in April…
