His advisor, Col. House, and his second wife, Edith, are essential characters in his story. Touring to build support for approval of the League of Nations, he suffered the stroke that led to his great decline in Wichita, Kansas. He won the second term by campaigning as "The Man Who Kept Us Out of War" and then became a committed war president. As you observed, there are two sides to his character.Lynda Beck Fenwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363248580928472769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231257453868183589.post-58122629110595044602012-10-31T06:51:42.915-05:002012-10-31T06:51:42.915-05:00I enjoyed seeing all the cute trick or treaters.

We don't get many Halloween visitors since we live so far from town and most of the kids who lived close by have grown up. I enjoyed seeing these little spooks. Thanks for sharing, and Happy Halloween!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030884632849692028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231257453868183589.post-85553238068097891512012-10-31T01:30:26.704-05:002012-10-31T01:30:26.704-05:00I love your history of Hallowe'en.

He played a major role in the negotiations following WWI (see Paris 1919; six months that changed the world) but he also was a southern Democrat under whom Jim Crow laws reversed much of the progress made by blacks to that time.
