Mckinley Assassination Justified

Roosevelt should be elected because he was the most progressive overall, and was the most progressive in regulating business, labor, and conservation. First off, the most progressive president in regulating business was Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt began to attack the large monopolistic corporations, which were companies that controlled the supply and trade of the commodity. Roosevelt wanted balance in the businesses. So because of this, he was the first president to use the Sherman Antitrust Act to break up these large monopolies.

The ascension of Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency marked a dramatic turning point in bringing meaningful reform in America because he was the first ever president to lead hands on and believed that the government should serve as an agent of reform for the people. Roosevelt abandoned his Republican counterparts’ ideals of a ‘laissez-faire’ economy and turned to helping the American people through welfare programs and minimum wage laws. Above all, Theodore Roosevelt served as a voice for the masses and implemented what they had long desired. Around 1902, exposing the evils of industries, politicians and the rich and famous was a very hot industry.

Through most of 1897, McKinley pursued an international agreement to include silver and gold as the major European currencies. Negotiations over bimetallism with England, France, Russia, and Italy failed, so William signed the Gold Standard Act; this formally placed U.S. money on gold standard. McKinley called a special session of Congress to increase the tariff. Alcohol taxes brought $114.5 million, tobacco brought $30.7 million, and stamp taxes earned $260,000. William yearned to increase the tariff income in order to reduce internal taxes and encourage the growth of industry and employment.

The Tweed Ring’s existence came into light between 1866 and 1871, and it begins when William ‘The Boss’ Tweed and his company made it so that all bills to the city would be at least fifty percent fraudulent, later raised to eighty five percent. The affluence went to William ‘The Boss’ Tweed, the city financial officer, the county treasurer, and the mayor. Furthermore, twenty percent of the share would go into bribing officials and businessmen, which led to a diverse following; William ‘The Boss’ Tweed loved to keep them around, and in order to maintain this regime, he ‘provided for all’. Unfortunately, Tweed was very sufficient in keeping up this scam, by fooling even the ‘best’ people by using his silver tongue and having a controllable idiosyncrasy. Being the amazing nineteenth-century

In all contests, people who can play well with severe disadvantages will often claim victory with equally large advantages. Had Robert E. Lee led the Union's army in the Civil War, he would have easily claimed victory, as he was an incredible general and the Union had many advantages over the Confederacy. Robert E. Lee was an elite general who prolonged a war in which many expected his army to fall very quickly. He had many major victories, and one the first and most important was in Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Confederacy. Lee started the battle there by scaring the Union General, George McClellan.

That being said, that’s not even the exact number. It’s just an estimate, to get people amazed and betrayed by Harry Truman because it was supposedly half a million. “The hellish firebombing of Tokyo in March 1945 killed some 250,000 civilians and maimed huge numbers more.” although this is not about Hiroshima or Nagasaki, it 's still pretty tragic that the U.S. did that. Why couldn’t they just settle down and sort things out?

Martin Van Buren was a successful president, who charmed the people of America and made a huge name for himself in the world of politics, but most of all Martin Van Buren was a step into making everyone in America equal-by being the first Dutch president. Martin Van Buren had grown up a poor boy with financial struggles, fought to open his own attorney’s office, and helped to make new laws for America and drag it out of the economical collapse in 1837. Not only this, but Martin’s life was full of hardship and working his way up the latter to where he became the president, making him an inspiration to many others like himself. He helped new laws about races be diffused and helped America evolve into a better place. Martin Van Buren was born to Abraham and Maria Van Buren on December 5, 1782 in Kinderhook, New York.

Since he accomplished achievements during his first-term, it was not difficult to gain most of the votes for his second-term. As an ambitious person, this demanded to do something more to secure his triumph. 9“The two victories, by the Republican in the presidential race and by the Democrats in the congressional races, dominated American politics over the following twenty-two months, a period characterized by more bitterness, divisions, and pure hatred than any since the Reconstruction.” 10“So, on election night 1972, Nixon could not enjoy his triumph.” 11He was not planning how to bring the people together, but he was planning to destroy his enemies before they destroy him.

William Howard Taft pleads innocent against these charges.     The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) was the first administrative commission in United State history. Established in the eighteen hundred’s as a result of arising indignation from the country. The commission’s purpose was to control railroads and their unfair business practices.

Due to his success as a president, he was re-elected in 1864 thanks to him being the master of politics.

As a Democratic governor of New Jersey, he ran the president election in 1912 and got elected because of a split in Republican Party. His Clayton Antitrust Act made him a progressive president. When the Sherman Antitrust Act was ratified, there were still many problems yet to be solved due to the insufficiency of the policy. The unfair competitiveness was still ubiquitous in business. However, with the Clayton Act plastered over the crucial cracks of the Sherman Act, serving as a barrier to a broad range of anti-competitiveness issues like price discrimination, price fixing, and exclusive sales contract.

Republican President Ronald Reagan is known for ending the Cold War and also for increasing the USA’s national debt. This extended essay aims to investigate why the debt after the cold war was so high. Ronald Reagan was nearly killed in an assassination attempt, which resulted in many politicians to feel sympathetic towards Reagan. This would have resulted in an advantageous position for Reagan to pass his bills.

Many people of the upper-class and working-class felt as though his promises in office were in support of their needs, hence he won the second election. When I first analyzed this picture, I spent some time focused on the people below McKinley. It is important to take note that all of the individuals supporting (essentially holding up) McKinley in the image were at least modestly well-off white males. There are no women supporting him, let alone African Americans. I felt as though this aspect of the image alone gave a bit of insight on the social times of McKinley 's presidency.

In the years 1921-1924 La Follette went on an extreme hunt on exposing flagrant corruption. This led him to join the election of 1924 in a 3rd party where he lost to Calvin Coolidge. The following year Robert La Follette died on June 18, 1925 of cardiovascular disease. Robert La Follette was a courageous, zealous, and influential contributor in the Progressive Movement. He led one of the most popular states in the Progressive Movement and tried to make people aware of how corrupt big business leaders, and the politicians were.

Roosevelt took office, he won the campaign dramatically, since almost everyone blamed President Hoover for the economic crisis. President Roosevelt promised he was going to be the president of Relief, Reform and Recovery. In my opinion, if Roosevelt would have pay the veterans their bonus early, that would have caused relief and they would have taken that out of the way and deal with other problems they had. Each problem could have been recovering little by little. The congress had sustained Roosevelt’s previous veto, but the senate overrode the veto in 1936.
