Democratic President Woodrow Wilson faced a tough reelection campaign in 1916. The Republican Party -- divided in 1912 -- had united behind a single candidate while the war in Europe looked to engulf the country. Wilson used slogans like "America First" and "He Kept Us Out of War" as rallying cries. They worked. Wilson narrowly defeated Republican Charles Evans Hughes -- but war came only months after his inauguration.
