Long story short that particular president used his Yale historian credentials and the presidency to push Southern Revisionism, which he wrote, and his racist ideas to fuck up this country a ton, and the rest of the world by refusing to join WWI, and thereby single handedly causing the European theater of WWII, Stalin's rise to power, Hitler's rise to power, and the eventual anti communist rhetoric that permeates the US to this day.
