Thomas Woodrow Wilson was one of the 28th President of the United States. Wilson influenced a Democratic Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and America's primary-ever federal progressive income tax in the Revenue Act of 1913. Narrowly re-elected in 1916, Wilson's second time centered on First World War. Wilson took personal control of conference with Germany, including the armistice. He issued his Fourteen Points, his view of a post-war world that could avoid a new terrible conflict. In 1919 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
