Benjamin Harrison
Benjamin Harrison served as the 23rd President of the United States from 1889 to 1893. His administration was marked by a strong push for expansionism, including the initial attempts to annex Hawaii. However, when the annexation treaty faced opposition in Congress, Harrison's efforts were ultimately thwarted. He was succeeded by Grover Cleveland, who opposed the annexation and sought to restore the Hawaiian monarchy, reflecting the political tensions surrounding U.S. imperialism at the time.
Born on Aug 20, 1833 (192 years old)
