Woodrow Wilson
The scholar-president who won WWI and lost the peace — Wilson's 14 Points and League of Nations vision shaped the international order for a century, but the Senate rejected the League and Wilson had a stroke trying to sell it to the public. He also re-segregated the federal workforce.

Lyndon B. Johnson
#3President / Democrat — Stonewall, Texas · 1963–1969
