William McKinley(January 29, 1843 – September 14, 1901) was the25thPresident of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897, untilhis assassinationin September 1901, six months into his second term. McKinley led the nation to victory in theSpanish–American War, raisedprotective tariffsto promote American industry, and maintained the nation on thegold standardin a rejection ofinflationary proposals.

McKinley was the last president to have served in theAmerican Civil War, beginning as a private in theUnion Armyand ending as abrevetmajor. After the war, he settled inCanton, Ohio, where he practiced law and marriedIda Saxton. In 1876, he was elected toCongress, where he became theRepublican Party\'s expert on theprotective tariff, which he promised would bring prosperity. His 1890McKinley Tariffwas highly controversial; which together with aDemocraticredistricting aimed atgerrymanderinghim out of office, led to his defeat in the Democratic landslide of 1890. He was elected Ohio\'s governor in 1891 and 1893, steering a moderate course between capital and labor interests. With the aid of his close adviserMark Hanna, hesecured the Republican nomination for president in 1896, amid a deep economic depression. He defeated his Democratic rival,William Jennings Bryan, after afront-porch campaignin which he advocated \"sound money\" (the gold standard unless altered by international agreement) and promised that high tariffs would restore prosperity.

Rapid economic growth marked McKinley\'s presidency. He promoted the 1897Dingley Tariffto protect manufacturers and factory workers from foreign competition, and in 1900, he secured the passage of theGold Standard Act. McKinley hoped to persuadeSpainto grant independence to rebelliousCubawithout conflict, but when negotiation failed, he led the nation in the Spanish–American War of 1898; the U.S. victory was quick and decisive. As part ofthe peace settlement, Spain turned over to the United States its main overseas colonies ofPuerto Rico,Guam, and thePhilippines; Cuba was promised independence, but at that time remained under the control of the U.S. Army. The United Statesannexedthe independentRepublic of Hawaiiin 1898 and it became a U.S.territory.

Historians regard McKinley\'s 1896 victory as arealigning election, in whichthe political stalemateof the post-Civil War era gave way to the Republican-dominatedFourth Party System, which began with theProgressive Era. McKinley defeated Bryan again in the1900 presidential election, in a campaign focused onimperialism,protectionism, and free silver. However, his legacy was quickly cut short whenhe was shoton September 6, 1901 byLeon Czolgosz, a second-generationPolish-American withanarchistleanings; McKinley died eight days later, and was succeeded by Vice PresidentTheodore Roosevelt. As an innovator of Americaninterventionismand pro-business sentiment, McKinley\'s presidency isgenerally considered above average, though his universally positive public perception was soon overshadowed by 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\">
