Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States and was the one who signed in the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, creating the private central bank of America the Federal Reserve. Here is a quote from him years after signing the bill into law.
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
