Wilson- President Woodrow Wilson was very stubborn when it came to the treaty of Versailles. When Wilson went to Paris, many thought of him as a superstar, and when he arrived home he still thought of himself with this high standard. Wilson did not trust anyone but himself, so instead of the Secretary of State, who would usually go on the trips for foreign relation, Wilson decided to go and attend the peace conference. Wilson, who was a democrat, decided not to bring a Republican along with him. This affected things because he would no longer have a representative from the Republican party to help consult about what could be done to help pass the treaty in the United States Senate. During Wilson’s campaign in 1918, he had campaigned against Republicans saying that, “the democrats had won the peace.” This put him in an awkward situation when it came to pass the treaty because of the the problems caused between him and the republican party. During this time, Wilson’s health greatly declined. After giving a speech in Pueblo, Colorado, he suffered a stroke and became very sick. His wife basically filled in his position as president, and passed down all of the information she would learn down to him. This showed that Wilson was put under a lot of stress during the treaty of Versailles, and it greatly affected his health.
Harding- President Warren G. Harding is known, by some, to be one of the worst presidents this country has ever seen. He even quotes, "I am not fit for this office and should never have been here." Harding was a womanizer who, with his good looks was always looking to please. Once Harding entered the White House as the President of the United States, he occupied his time with golf, poker, and his mistress. He also let Secretary Fall manipulate him into taking control of the three petroleum oil reserves, which eventually led to the Teapot Dome Scandal.
Coolidge- Many attribute the 1929 economic downturn to President Calvin Coolidge’s laissez faire approach to governing. Coolidge did not believe in government intervention, which some believe helped lead to the great depression.
