Wilson got very little African-American support either in 1912 or 1916. Until the Depression of the 1930s, African Americans (where allowed to vote at all) voted overwhelmingly Republican, for the party of Lincoln and emancipation. Wilson was a Democrat – not to mention being a Southerner by birth.
