Ch. 17, sec. 5 critical thinking #4

Why do you think Wilson failed to push for equality for African Americans, despite his Progressive reforms?

Wilson said that he had made no promises other than to do them justice. So what he did by enforcing segregation was to him justice. He also might have done what most politicians do. They promise the people what they want to get their vote and once in office they turn their backs on what they said and do what they really wanted to do from the beginning.
