2010 means read about the history when you were alive, too. It was easy to follow the news back in Johnson's times, they just reported it.
My guess is you brought up Wilson because of the federal reserve that Republicans started and later blamed on the Democrats. Wilson had a stroke towards the end of his Presidency and except for WWI involvement, it isn't like much was done back then.
I bring up Wilson because he was the founding father Modern Day Progressive Liberalism. He was also the most vile racist man to ever be President of the US.
If I had a time machine I would not go back and kill Hitler I would kill Wilson. Because without Wilson, Hitler would never have been able to come to power. Wilson nefariously got the US into WW1. Without that, WW1 most likely would have ended in at least a quasi stalemate. That would not have been a bad thing since the Germans of WW1 were not the Nazis of WW2. Morally they were no different than the English or French.
By 1910 the KKK was extinct. Wilson displayed the first motion picture shown in the White House, it was called "Birth of a Nation". It was a motivating almost Rocky style movie that made the KKK out to be hero's. News of this went viral and KKK chapters were started all over the US.
Aside from original Slavery every racist government policy came from Democrats, since the time of Wilson they came from Progressive Liberal Democrats.
About 60 years ago Leftist Democrats figured out that traditional White Supremacists Racism no longer worked as a political strategy so they started exploiting racism from the opposite direction, replacing traditional racism with racial identity politics, and replacing the KKK with race baiting poverty pimps like Al Sharpton.
