After Grover Cleveland left office in 1897, William McKinley was inaugurated as the 25th President of the United States. A seasoned veteran of federal politics, McKinley's successes in hist first term as president include:
- Passing protective tarriffs to help support the US as it recovered from a depression.
- Taking a stand for the liberation of Cuba and, ultimately, leading the country to victory in the Spanish-American War.
- Helping maintain the gold standard by rejecting any proposals that would have led to inflation.
Remembered for his "exemplary character" and for running a "friendly" administration in which America was able to improve as a nation, McKinley was able to win a second term in office in the 1900 election. Unfortunately, he was assinated six months after his second inauguration; shot twice by what the White House describes as a "deranged anarchist" who attacked him in a crowd at the 1901 Buffalo Pan-American Exposition.
