The former Mount McKinley was given that name in 1896 by William Dickey, a gold prospector who felt it was a fitting honor for President McKinley.

In fact, McKinley had nothing to do with the choice (although he didn't oppose it, either) and never visited his namesake peak. For many years Alaskan residents - in particular, its indigenous peoples - lobbied for restoration of the mountain's native name Denali. That occurred in 2015.

William McKinley was a devout Methodist.

The Politics Administration Dichotomy emphasizes that politics and administration are fundamentally different and should be approached as such. It states that public administration is a business field, and should be kept out of the sphere of politics.

Actually, since he was in the Progressive Era of the U.S, he just used regular technology. There was no way for him to improve communications.

Five states were added to the Union during Washington's presidency - North Carolina (1789), Rhode Island (1790), Vermont (1791), Kentucky (1792), and Tennessee (1796).

He weighed nearly 200 pounds and was 5' 7 '' tall, so he had a stocky build.

He enjoyed outdoor activities such as fishing, camping, horseback riding and ice skating. As an adult he liked to play euchre and cribbage and go to plays and the opera.

He failed to end the depression in the US. However, because of the Harrison administration of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890, 4.2 million ounces of silver was purchased every month which dropped the supply of the gold and the inability to restock the gold. Cleveland had attempted to solve the issue by attempting to annul the Silver act and return to the original gold standard.

Cleveland was believed to have been siding with J.P. Morgan, a gold bond seller, and against the people's interests. However, if he did not buy from J.P. Morgan, the gold standard would've decreased as well as the amount of the dollar.

Hope this helps.

There were economic depression problems in 1896 especially with farmers. Most blamed the problems on the "gold standard." William Jennings Bryan was pushing for "free silver." At the time, American money was tied to the amount of gold we had in the US treasury. The farmers wanted to be able to borrow money cheaply and pay back loans with inflated money. They felt that adding silver to the gold suppy would help them.

to end the fighting between the Spanish government and the Cuban rebels.

McKinley added Puerto Rico the the US as a reulst of the Spanish -American War. The Philippines and Cuba were also added temporarily. Roosevelt added the Panama Canal Zone, also temporarily.

Won the Spanish American war in less than 4 months.

He went to the Poland Seminary, a private prep school in Poland, Ohio.

He declared war on Spain.

The big reason was that a majority of voters were content with McKinley's first administration. The economy had improved, the Spanish-Amercan War was won quickly and problems with the gold standard were eased by the discovery of gold in Alaska.
