href="/wiki/William_McKinley" title="William McKinley">William McKinley</a> was inaugurated and ended September 14, 1901, upon his assassination. A longtime <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_United_States_Republican_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="History of the United States Republican Party">Republican</a>, McKinley is best known for conducting the successful <a href="/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War" title="Spanish–American War">Spanish–American War</a> (1898), freeing Cuba from Spain; taking ownership of the <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Hawaii" title="Republic of Hawaii">Republic of Hawaii</a>; and purchasing the <a href="/wiki/Philippines" title="Philippines">Philippines</a>, <a href="/wiki/Guam" title="Guam">Guam</a> and <a href="/wiki/Puerto_Rico" title="Puerto Rico">Puerto Rico</a>. It includes the 1897 <a href="/wiki/Dingley_Tariff" class="mw-redirect" title="Dingley Tariff">Dingley Tariff</a> which raised rates to protect manufacturers and factory workers from foreign competition, and the <a href="/wiki/Gold_Standard_Act" title="Gold Standard Act">Gold Standard Act</a> of 1900 that rejected <a href="/wiki/Free_silver" title="Free silver">free silver inflationary proposals</a>. Rapid economic growth and a decline in labor conflict marked the presidency and he was easily reelected. He was succeeded by <a href="/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States" title="Vice President of the United States">Vice President</a> <a href="/wiki/Theodore_Roosevelt" title="Theodore Roosevelt">Theodore Roosevelt</a> following his death. The <a href="/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States" title="List of presidents of the United States">25th United States president</a>, McKinley took office following the <a href="/wiki/1896_United_States_presidential_election" title="1896 United States presidential election">1896 presidential election</a>, in which he defeated <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="History of the Democratic Party (United States)">Democrat</a> <a href="/wiki/William_Jennings_Bryan" title="William Jennings Bryan">William Jennings Bryan</a>. In the campaign, McKinley advocated "<a href="/wiki/Hard_currency" title="Hard currency">sound money</a>", promised that high tariffs would restore prosperity, and denounced Bryan as a radical who promoted <a href="/wiki/Class_conflict" title="Class conflict">class warfare</a>. He defeated Bryan again in the <a href="/wiki/1900_United_States_presidential_election" title="1900 United States presidential election">1900 presidential election</a>, in a campaign focused on imperialism in the Philippines, high tariffs, and <a href="/wiki/Free_silver" title="Free silver">free silver</a>. McKinley's presidency marked the beginning of an era in American political history, called the "<a href="/wiki/Fourth_Party_System" title="Fourth Party System">Fourth Party System</a>" or "<a href="/wiki/Progressive_Era" title="Progressive Era">Progressive Era</a>", which lasted from the mid-1890s to the early 1930s. On the national level, this period was generally dominated by the Republican Party. In 1897–1898, the most pressing issue was an <a href="/wiki/Cuban_War_of_Independence" title="Cuban War of Independence">insurrection in Cuba</a> against repressive Spanish colonial rule which had been worsening for years. Americans sympathized with the rebels and demanded action to resolve the crisis. The administration tried to persuade Spain to liberalize its rule but when negotiations failed, both sides wanted war. American victory in the <a href="/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War" title="Spanish–American War">Spanish–American War</a> was quick and decisive. During the war the United States took temporary possession of <a href="/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuba</a>; it was promised independence but it remained under the control of the U.S. Army throughout McKinley's presidency. The status of the Philippines was heavily debated, and became an issue in the 1900 election, with Democrats opposed to American ownership. McKinley decided it needed American protection and it remained under U.S. control until the 1940s. As a result of the war, the United States also took permanent possession of Guam and Puerto Rico. Under McKinley's leadership, the United States also <a href="/wiki/Hawaii#Annexation_–_Territory_of_Hawaiʻi_(1898–1959)" title="Hawaii">annexed</a> the independent <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Hawaii" title="Republic of Hawaii">Republic of Hawaii</a> in 1898. Unlike the other new possessions, citizens of Hawaii became American citizens and Hawaii became a <a href="/wiki/Territory_of_Hawaii" title="Territory of Hawaii">territory with an appointed governor</a>. McKinley's foreign policy created an overseas empire and put the U.S. on the world's list of major powers. In 1897 the economy rapidly recovered from the severe depression, called the <a href="/wiki/Panic_of_1893" title="Panic of 1893">Panic of 1893</a>. McKinley's supporters in 1900 postulated that the new tariff and the commitment to the gold standard were responsible. McKinley is consistently <a href="/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States" title="Historical rankings of presidents of the United States">ranked</a> by political historians in the upper tier of United States presidents. On William McKinley, historian Lewis L.

In the 1890s, Confederate memories no longer dwelled as much on mourning or explaining defeat; they offered a set of conservative traditions by which the entire country could gird itself against racial, political, and industrial disorder.

However, in 1898 the Democrats took the lead in demanding Spain stop oppressing the independent-minded people of Cuba, while McKinley tried to stop the rush to war.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Annexation_of_Hawaii">Annexation of Hawaii</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Presidency_of_William_McKinley&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Annexation of Hawaii">edit</a>]</div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Annexation_Here_to_Stay.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Annexation_Here_to_Stay.jpg/190px-Annexation_Here_to_Stay.jpg" decoding="async" width="190" height="247" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Annexation_Here_to_Stay.jpg/285px-Annexation_Here_to_Stay.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/Annexation_Here_to_Stay.jpg/380px-Annexation_Here_to_Stay.jpg 2x" data-file-width="7760" data-file-height="10082" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Overthrow_of_the_Kingdom_of_Hawaii" class="mw-redirect" title="Overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii">Annexation</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Hawaii" title="Republic of Hawaii">Republic of Hawaii</a> in 1898</figcaption></figure> Hawaii long had very close political, cultural, religious and economic relations with the United States.

Big business, high finance, and Main Street businesses across the country were vocally opposed to war and demanded peace, as the uncertainties of a potentially long, expensive war posed serious threat to full economic recovery. The leading railroad magazine editorialized, "from a commercial and mercenary standpoint it seems peculiarly bitter that this war should come when the country had already suffered so much and so needed rest and peace." The strong anti-war consensus of the business community strengthened McKinley's resolve to use diplomacy and negotiation rather than brute force to end the Spanish tyranny in Cuba.<a href="#cite_note-108">[108]</a> On the other hand, humanitarian sensibilities reached fever pitch as church leaders and activists wrote hundreds of thousands of letters to political leaders, calling for intervention in Cuba.

Political scientist Robert Osgood, writing in 1953, led the attack on the American decision process as a confused mix of "self-righteousness and genuine moral fervor", in the form of a "crusade" and a combination of "knight-errantry and national self- assertiveness."<a href="#cite_note-121">[121]</a> Osgood argued: <dl><dd>A war to free Cuba from Spanish despotism, corruption, and cruelty, from the filth and disease and barbarity of General 'Butcher' Weyler's reconcentration camps, from the devastation of haciendas, the extermination of families, and the outraging of women; that would be a blow for humanity and democracy....

If Spain could not quell the rebellion through "civilized" warfare, the United States would have to intervene. In early 1898, the Havana riots, the De Lome letter, the destruction of the Maine, and the Redfield Proctor speech convinced McKinley that the autonomy project had failed and that Spain could not defeat the rebels.

Members of the Cabinet, who had rushed to Buffalo on hearing the news, dispersed; Vice President Roosevelt departed on a camping trip to the <a href="/wiki/Adirondacks" class="mw-redirect" title="Adirondacks">Adirondacks</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMiller315–317Morgan401–402-200">[200]</a> However, unknown to the doctors, the <a href="/wiki/Gangrene" title="Gangrene">gangrene</a> that would kill McKinley was growing on the walls of his stomach, slowly poisoning his blood. On the morning of September 13, McKinley took a turn for the worse, and at 2:15 a.m. on September 14, President McKinley died. Theodore Roosevelt had rushed back and took the oath of office as president in Buffalo. Czolgosz, put on trial for murder nine days after McKinley's death, was found guilty, sentenced to death on September 26, and executed by <a href="/wiki/Electric_chair" title="Electric chair">electric chair</a> on October 29, 1901.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMiller321–330-201">[201]</a> Gould reports, "the nation experienced a wave of genuine grief at the news of McKinley's passing."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGould252-202">[202]</a> The stock market, faced with sudden uncertainty, suffered a steep decline—almost unnoticed in the mourning. The nation focused its attention on the casket that made its way by train, first to Washington, where it <a href="/wiki/State_funerals_in_the_United_States" title="State funerals in the United States">lay in state</a> in the Capitol, and then to McKinley's hometown of Canton.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMorgan402–403-203">[203]</a> A hundred thousand people passed by the open casket in the <a href="/wiki/Capitol_Rotunda" class="mw-redirect" title="Capitol Rotunda">Capitol Rotunda</a>, many having waited hours in the rain; in Canton, an equal number did the same at the Stark County Courthouse on September 18. The following day, a funeral service was held at the First Methodist Church; the casket was then sealed and taken to the McKinley house, where relatives paid their final respects.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMcElroy167-204">[204]</a> It was then transported to the receiving vault at <a href="/wiki/West_Lawn_Cemetery" title="West Lawn Cemetery">West Lawn Cemetery</a> in Canton, to await the construction of the <a href="/wiki/McKinley_National_Memorial" title="McKinley National Memorial">memorial to McKinley</a> that was already being planned.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMorgan403-205">[205]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Historical_reputation">Historical reputation</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Presidency_of_William_McKinley&action=edit&section=26" title="Edit section: Historical reputation">edit</a>]</div> McKinley's biographer, H. Wayne Morgan remarks that McKinley died the most beloved president in history.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMorgan404-206">[206]</a> However, the young, enthusiastic Roosevelt quickly captured public attention after his predecessor's death. The new president made little effort to secure the trade reciprocity McKinley had intended to negotiate with other nations. Controversy and public interest surrounded Roosevelt throughout the seven and a half years of his presidency as memories of McKinley faded; by 1920, according to Gould, McKinley's administration was deemed no more than "a mediocre prelude to the vigor and energy of Theodore Roosevelt's".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGould252-202">[202]</a> Beginning in the 1950s, McKinley received more favorable evaluations; nevertheless, in surveys ranking American presidents, he has generally been placed near the middle, often trailing contemporaries such as Hayes and Cleveland.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGould252-202">[202]</a> A 2018 poll of the <a href="/wiki/American_Political_Science_Association" title="American Political Science Association">American Political Science Association</a>’s Presidents and Executive Politics section ranked McKinley as the 22nd best president,<a href="#cite_note-207">[207]</a> while a 2017 <a href="/wiki/C-SPAN" title="C-SPAN">C-SPAN</a> poll of historians ranked McKinley as the 16th best president.<a href="#cite_note-208">[208]</a> Morgan suggests that this relatively low ranking is due to a perception among historians that while many decisions during McKinley's presidency profoundly affected the nation's future, he more followed public opinion than led it, and that McKinley's standing has suffered from altered public expectations of the presidency.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMorgan472-209">[209]</a> There has been broad agreement among historians that McKinley's election was at the time of a transition between two political eras, dubbed the <a href="/wiki/Third_Party_System" title="Third Party System">Third</a> and <a href="/wiki/Fourth_Party_System" title="Fourth Party System">Fourth Party Systems</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTENice448-210">[210]</a> Kenneth F. Warren emphasizes the national commitment to a pro-business, industrial, and modernizing program, represented by McKinley.<a href="#cite_note-211">[211]</a> Historian Daniel P. Klinghard argued that McKinley's personal control of the 1896 campaign gave him the opportunity to reshape the presidency—rather than simply follow the party platform—by representing himself as the voice of the people.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKlinghard736–760-3">[3]</a> However, more recently, as Republican political official <a href="/wiki/Karl_Rove" title="Karl Rove">Karl Rove</a> exalted McKinley as the agent of sweeping political realignment in the 2000s, some scholars, such as David Mayhew, questioned whether the 1896 election truly represented a realignment, thereby placing in issue whether McKinley deserves credit for it.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERauchway242–244-212">[212]</a> Historian Michael J. Korzi argued in 2005 that while it is tempting to see McKinley as the key figure in the transition from congressional domination of government to the modern, powerful president, this change was an incremental process through the late 19th and early 20th centuries.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKorzi281-213">[213]</a> A controversial aspect of McKinley's presidency is territorial expansion and the question of imperialism. The U.S. set Cuba free and granted independence to the Philippines in 1946. Puerto Rico remains in an ambiguous status. Hawaii is a state; Guam remains a territory. The territorial expansion of 1898 was the high water mark of <a href="/wiki/American_imperialism" title="American imperialism">American imperialism</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPhillips99-214">[214]</a> Morgan sees that historical discussion as a subset of the debate over the rise of America as a world power; he expects the debate over McKinley's actions to continue indefinitely without resolution, and argues that however one judges McKinley's actions in American expansion, one of his motivations was to change the lives of Filipinos and Cubans for the better.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMorgan468-215">[215]</a> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2>[<a
