  1. Cotton left out the bit where US entry into the Great War was delayed, because the propaganda of W.R. Hearst, the inventor of yellow journalism, and a Republican, against assisting the UK. Wilson (who was indeed a terrible racist and antisemite) wanted to enter sooner, but Hearst's newspaper empire was pushing for isolationism. (Which was funny, as he was the impetus behind the Spanish-American War.) The sinking of the Lusitania changed the mood of the public.
