MCKINLEY OUTLINE

William McKinely was a president who came after the tumults presidency of Grover Clevalnd. The country was rebounding after the 1893 depression. The country was at time of development while the government ran the country still traditionally. McKinley came during troubled times and soon the extremity of the era will ultimately bring Mckinley to a dreadful downfall. McKinley was a republican leader. And the last president during the civil war era. He was responsible to bring back prosperity from the dredful panic of 1893. He also made gold the basis of the currency. He also played a role in global relation as well. This is evident due to his persistent effort to end the atrocities in Cuba by Spain. He also expanded the country as well. He expanded it by buying Philippines, and Puerto Rico. The Spanish American war became a significant downturn to McKinley's presidency. It was a war which was seen as not necessary and wasted resources immensely. Mckinley was greatly critiqued by American citizens and became greatly displeasured. Although he did bring economic prosperity in to the nation as well. A anarachist assassinated Mckinley and bought his president to an abrupt end electing the famous Teddy Roosevelt to oath. Although he bought prosperity fro the nation he bought unnecessary warfare into the country as well. I give him a 4 out of 10.
