Our government was corrupted long before that. Harlow Vs Fitzgerald in 1982 comes to mind as the SCOTUS unintentionally legislated from the bench due to some southern revisionist in 1874.

Woodrow "literally wrote Southern Revisionism" Wilson is where I would point my finger at where the corruption actually took root.
