Wilson became the 28th president of the United States, serving two consecutive terms in the White House, from 1913 to 1921. During his time in office, Wilson faced many challenges at home and abroad, and face them he did.

The issue of women's suffrage confronted Wilson right from the start. The National Women's Party organized a suffrage parade in Washington, D.C., the day before Wilson's inauguration.

The Federal Reserve Act established the Federal Reserve System as a decentralized central banking system. It created 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks, each responsible for overseeing banking activities within its designated district. The Board of Governors, based in Washington, D.C., was established to oversee the entire system.

One of the primary functions of the Federal Reserve System is to regulate the supply of money and credit in the economy. It does this through various mechanisms, such as setting interest rates, regulating banks, and conducting open market operations (buying and selling government securities).
