Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Whose election slogan was, "He kept us out of the war?""

...When Woodrow Wilson ran for re-election to a second term, his campaign adopted the slogan, "He kept us out of the war." This slogan and an anti-war sentiment helped win him his second term in the 1916 election. His opponent, Charles Evans Hughes, accused Wilson of being ill-prepared to take the U.S. into World War I. Ironically, within a year, Wilson had no other option than to enter WWI. While most Americans sided with the British in the conflict, they were against getting involved in the war. Germany's aggressions, however, left Wilson little choice but to engage in the war. Source: Reference.com
