William McKinley

William McKinley was known to carry a red carnation as a good luck charm. He would often wear it on his lapel during public appearances and speeches. McKinley believed that the flower brought him good fortune and served as a symbol of his optimism. Unfortunately, he was assassinated in 1901 while wearing a carnation, which led to a somber reflection on the tradition.

During William McKinley's presidency from 1897 to 1901, the United States experienced significant economic growth and expansion. He led the nation through the Spanish-American War in 1898, resulting in the U.S. acquiring territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. McKinley also supported the Gold Standard Act, which established gold as the sole backing for U.S. currency, and focused on tariff reforms. His presidency was tragically cut short when he was assassinated in September 1901.

President McKinley refused to grant independence to the Filipino people after the Spanish-American War due to concerns about their ability to self-govern and the desire to civilize and uplift them. He believed that the Philippines needed American guidance and support to develop politically, socially, and economically. Additionally, strategic interests in the region, including military and trade considerations, influenced his decision to retain control over the islands. This led to significant conflict, including the Philippine-American War, as many Filipinos sought independence.

William McKinley is often portrayed as a tailor to emphasize his humble beginnings and connection to the working class. This imagery highlights his craftsmanship and attention to detail, qualities that can be metaphorically linked to his political style and leadership. Additionally, portraying him as a tailor may serve to humanize him, presenting him as a relatable figure who understood the struggles of ordinary Americans during his presidency.

After President McKinley was assassinated, Theodore Roosevelt referred to himself as a "steward of the people" or a "steward of the public welfare." This term reflected his belief that he was entrusted with the responsibility of serving the American people and carrying out the duties of the presidency in a way that honored their trust and best interests.

McKinley didn't think the Filipino's were well educated.

President McKinley had three siblings: David McKinley, James McKinley, and Abner McKinley. As for their children, David McKinley had one daughter named Mary Emma McKinley, James McKinley had two daughters named Belle McKinley and Sallie McKinley, and Abner McKinley had no children.

President William McKinley was shot twice by anarchist Leon Czolgosz during a public reception at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. The bullets wounded McKinley's abdomen, and he underwent surgery to remove them. Initially, it seemed that he was recovering, but complications arose, and McKinley eventually succumbed to his injuries and passed away on September 14, 1901.

President McKinley agree to the sealing of Hawaii because he was bought and paid for by big business such as Sanford Dole of pineapple fame. Outgoing president, Grover Cleveland tried to get the blessing of congress to retake Hawaii and give it back to it rightful owners, but the Money Power in the US saw to it that that would not happen.

This was an era of US imperialism. Annexing Hawaii was a logical step in its time.

That they don't let animals roam in different cages == Animals in Zoos ( America, or anywhere to be fair, but I will use America as an example, just to prove my point that America is not perfect) can be beaten, and treated appallingly. One such example took place when an African elephant was transferred from the San Diego Zoo to the San Diego Wild Animal Park; her old caretakers reported seeing her chained to the ground, and beaten on the head with axe handles for two days. Some of the blows were described as "home run swings." Also, another Zookeeper in San Francisco was quoted as saying of Elephants, "You have to motivate them and the way you do that is by beating the hell out of them." This happened in San Diego, and San Francisco, of America. For details see the site listed below.

I believe that zoos use animals for there own need. 1 out of 10 people care about there pet and 1 out of 50 zoos care about the animals the way they should. Bad zoos use cement cages and don't let animals stand on their own feet. This causes them to be unable to fend for themselves. This problem is mostly seen in places like Ethiopia. Unfortunately I cannot find the doco I watched on Australia's ABC channel showing cruelty to bears in poorer countries zoos. Another mistake many zoos make is separating and isolating pack animals. They are called pack animals for a reason. When separated from their pride, pack, pod, flock or herd many animals will die. And in many zoos, not only do they isolate them but, put them in cages with concrete floors, and bars. How would you feel to suddenly be taken from your home where you ran free with your family and put in a cage with a cold, hard floor to be stared at by people day in and day out. Most only looking for less than 30 seconds before making some derogatory remark and walking off. This fact has been proved in a study, which was conducted in America. Most people don't care about the animals, they are just looking for another way to entertain themselves. We have brains for a reason, learn how to use it. *Certain contributions to this question have been moved to the discussion field during the editing process of this answer.

William McKinley was born on January 29, 1843 and died on September 14, 1901. William McKinley would have been 58 years old at the time of death or 172 years old today.

He was a good Commander in Chief. He let the military take care of the details.

President William McKinley represented the Republican Party.

The Maine was a US battleship that was sent to Cuba to protect US interests due to a Cuban revolt against Spain. It was mysteriously blown up and sunk, killing some 162 crew members, while sitting in Havana harbor. This incident lead to a war between the US and Spain and so "Remember the Maine- to Hell with Spain" became a rallying cry during this war.

McKinley was shot at Buffalo, New York at the Pan American Exposition on September 6th, 1901 at 4:07pm. The bullet entered his body at a point between the navel and left nipple. It passed through the stomach, nicked the left kidney and lodged in the pancreas.

Roosevelt wanted desperately to test his manliness on the field of battle (and to be noticed for doing so, both of which he achieved). He would have been happy to go to war with just about anybody.
