Answer:
to promote freedom around the world
Explanation:
The reason that President Woodrow Wilson gave to urge Congress to declare war was that he aimed to promote freedom around the world.
President Wilson was of the opinion that he needed to fight in the interest of others without seeking for any compensation.
It was "Mitchell Palmer" who was the attorney general under President Wilson who led a witch-hunt to round up communists in the 1920s, since these were known as the "Palmer Raids".
