Woodrow Wilson's re-election in 1916 marked a pivotal moment in American history, largely because of his campaign slogan "He kept us out of war," which resonated with a war-weary public. The U.S. was grappling with the challenges of World War I, and Wilson leveraged his stance on neutrality to appeal to voters who wanted to avoid foreign entanglements. This strategy ultimately helped him secure another term in office, despite increasing pressure to join the conflict. Although Wilson won the election, the political landscape was deeply divided. His opponent, Charles Evans Hughes, ran a campaign that sought to challenge Wilson's policies. The election was incredibly close, with Wilson winning by a narrow margin in the Electoral College. This highlighted the divisions in the country regarding the war and set the stage for Wilson's subsequent decision to enter World War I in 1917, forever altering the course of American foreign policy.
