Answer

False. President Woodrow Wilson sent troops to Mexico in 1914, not 1913, and the intervention was not aimed at teaching Mexico how to elect "good men." The primary reason was the Tampico Affair and the ongoing Mexican Revolution, which raised concerns about the safety of American citizens and property in Mexico.
