Before Woodrow Wilson served as the 28th President of the United States, which state did he govern?
In the election of 1910, Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the gubernatorial candidate of New Jersey's Democratic Party, and was elected the 34th Governor of New Jersey, serving from 1911 to 1913. He served as a governor before his presidency just like many other Americans commanders-in-chief, such as James Monroe, Martin Van Buren, Andrew Johnson and others. An academic by occupation, he was also busy in the education sector.
Running for president in 1912, Wilson benefited from a split in the Republican Party, which enabled his plurality of just over forty percent to win him a large electoral college margin. Wilson served as the 28th president of the United States from 1913 to 1921.

A man of high intelligence and little judgment. Unyielding and self righteous.

In very recent times, he's been judged to have been racist. Our local high school changed its name as a result.

Google says he governed New York. He was born in NJ.

His "temporary" income tax to pay for the War is still with us today.

Re-segregated the military.

"He kept us out of the War." Oops on that one. The Wall Street people had too much money loaned to the Limies and Frogs so the US had to put its oar in the water.

Read a biography concerning Wilson, easy

The smartest President we ever had.

He also had one of the Highest IQ's of any president (John Adams' was estimated higher), and his wife actually ran the white house when he had his stroke. My how things have changed.
