Grover Cleveland on taking office started the habit of replacing only people in top government jobs who were in policy-making positions, retaining able office holders - even if from another party - who were in more 'technical' positions. He reduced import tariffs, although less than he himself had wished. What he did NOT do, was promote racial equality and black voting rights because of Southern sensibilities. On the basis of the USA's Monroe doctrine - making Middle and South America the USA's "back yard" where it felt it had the right to control events - he pursued an active foreign policy. At home, he succesfully worked to make Utah a US State in 1894.
