I’ve seen a lot of negative backlash against Wilson’s legacy in recent years, to the point of verging on overreaction. He is in an awkward position since he was too progressive for conservative tastes and too racist for liberal tastes. The main positive thing people used to say about Wilson’s legacy was his championing of liberal internationalism, combined with lots of bemoaning the fact that the US didn’t ratify Versailles or join the League of Nations due to isolationist obstruction in the Senate.
