Thomas Woodrow Wilson (Dec 28, 1856-Feb 3, 1924) was the 2twenty-eighth chief executive of the United States, from 1913 to 1921, and leader of the progressive activity. Wilson induced a conventional Democratic Congress to go a progressive legislative agenda, unparalleled before New Package in 1933. This included the Federal government Reserve Act, the Federal government Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Plantation Loan Act, and an income tax. Child labor was temporarily curtailed by the Keating-Owen Act of 1916. Wilson also averted a railroad reach and an ensuing financial crisis through passage of the Adamson Act, imposing an eight-hour workday for railroads. On the outbreak of World Battle I in 1914, Wilson retained a policy of neutrality. Narrowly reelected in 1916 around the slogan "he kept us out of war", Wilson's second term was dominated by American accessibility into World Battle I.
