“Without Woodrow Wilson, LBJ, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and the Bush’s. Gee, let me think...”
Woodrow Wilson-Southern Democrat-born in the South to become Governor of New Jersey (North)
Clinton-Southern Democrat
LBJ-Southern Democrat
Jimmy Carter-Southern Democrat-Fooled a lot of people with his Southern peanut farmer, Southern Baptist charm. Worse President ever until Obama and Biden.
GW Bush-Republican-born in Connecticut. (North) Didn’t have much choice with this one. The alternatives were worse.
Had the South won their rebellion then Wilson would almost certainly remained in the South. Your problem not ours
GW Bush-Republican-born in Connecticut.
Both ran as Texans. Would an independent Confederacy have changed that? Hard to tell but, as you pointed out, they were far from the worst presidents the South has inflicted on us.
