The tour ended affecting Woodrow Wilson's health and did not manage to convince the American citizens.

Explanation:

Wilson's first attempt was not the 8000-mil tour, in fact he tried presuade the congressmen, but it did not work; they did not believed the idea of joining the League of Nations. That is why He decided to tour The United States. That was a significative effort for him which resulted affecting his health; he had a stroke that was almost fatal. Unluckly for Wilson, American People did not buy the idea either; that was verified when Warren Harding won the elections and became the next president of United States who represented republican party interests among which was not joining to the League of Nations.
