Benjamin Harrison(August 20, 1833– March 13, 1901) was the23rdPresident of the United States(1889–93); he was the grandson of the ninth President,William Henry Harrison. Before ascending to the presidency, Harrison established himself as a prominent local attorney, Presbyterian church leader and politician inIndianapolis, Indiana. During theAmerican Civil War, he served the Union as acoloneland on February 14, 1865 was confirmed by theU.S. Senateas abrevetbrigadier generalof volunteers to rank from January 23, 1865. After the war, he unsuccessfully ran for the governorship ofIndiana. He was later elected to the U.S. Senate by the Indiana legislature.
ARepublican, Harrison was elected to the presidency in1888, defeating theDemocraticincumbentGrover Cleveland. Hallmarks of his administration included unprecedented economic legislation, including theMcKinley Tariff, which imposed historic protective trade rates, and theSherman Antitrust Act; Harrison facilitated the creation of theNational Foreststhrough an amendment to the Land Revision Act of 1891. He also substantially strengthened and modernized the Navy, and conducted an active foreign policy. He proposed, in vain, federal education funding as well as voting rights enforcement forAfrican Americansduring his administration.
Due in large part to surplus revenues from the tariffs, federal spending reached one billion dollars for the first time during his term. The spending issue in part led to the defeat of the Republicans in the1890 mid-term elections. Harrison was defeated by Cleveland in his offer for re-election in1892, due to the growing unpopularity of the high tariff and high federal spending. He then returned to private life in Indianapolis but later represented theRepublic of Venezuelain an international case against theUnited Kingdom. In 1900, he traveled to Europe as part of the case and, after a brief stay, returned to Indianapolis. He died the following year of complications frominfluenza. Although many have praised Harrison\'s commitment to African Americans\' voting rights, scholars and historians generally regard his administration as below-average, andrank him in the bottom halfamong U.S. presidents. Historians, however, have not questioned Harrison\'s commitment to personal and official style=\"WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT: medium \'Times New Roman\'; LETTER-SPACING: normal; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-stretch: normal\">
