William McKinley
William McKinley served as the 25th President of the United States from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. Known for his protective tariffs and a strong commitment to American industry, McKinley's policies significantly impacted the U.S. economy during the late 19th century. His administration is often credited with ushering in an era of economic growth and industrial expansion, but his approach to tariffs also raised questions about sustainability and negotiation with international partners. McKinley's legacy includes a complex relationship with trade policy, which continues to be referenced in contemporary discussions about economic strategies, including those proposed by leaders like Donald Trump.
