Abstract
Despite the Democrats mid-term election losses in the House of Representatives in 1914, Woodrow Wilson initiates another round of reforms in 1915 and 1916 and appoints Louis Brandeis to Supreme Court. It becomes evident that there is a mismatch between the Democratic Party's constituents--white Southerners and urban immigrants--and the progressive social politics Wilson advances. For example, Congress passes the Literacy Test Law over Wilson's veto. Like Roosevelt Wilson believes in European immigration. He does not, however, believe blacks can be the equals of whites and re-segregates Washington, D.C. on the basis of separate but equal.
