You need to make historical adjustments for time and behavior. You act as though things were the same in 1860, 1912 as they are today. They weren't.

Moderate, liberal, whatever, but he was no conservative and would never have been in the republican party today and if you do not know that, well that is your problem. As mentioned, he was not the pick, nor voted for by the democratic slave states. Use some logic.

You need to brush up on your history: Wilson passed the most progressive legislation until the new deal.

"Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) was an American statesman and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. A member of the Democratic Party, Wilson served as the President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910 before winning the 1912 presidential election.

As president, he oversaw the passage of progressive lelegislative policies unparalleled until the New Deal in 1933. [1]

He also led the United States during World War I, establishing an activist foreign policy known as " Wilsonianism." He was one the three key leaders at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, where he championed a new League of Nations. Back home he was unable to compromise with the Republican Senate; the U.S. never joined.

And FDR did not push integration.
