Benjamin Harrison Day is an annual American holiday commemorating the 23rd president of the United States. This man, like other presidents, has played a role in the development of the state as a whole, so today we celebrate this day! It is celebrated on March 4.
History
The path to governing the country B. Harrison began by trying to become governor of Indiana, but he was not successful in that direction. He later managed to get into the U.S. Senate, where he stayed from ’81 to ’87 of the 19th century.
The assumption of the presidency occurred in 1888. He belonged to the Republican Party and was eventually able to beat his main rival, Democrat G. Cleveland, in the presidential race. In the eyes of historians, his reign is considered a corrupt period in U.S. history. The president introduced the McKinley Tariff of 1890, which increased federal spending by as much as a billion dollars. This amount was a real record. It is believed that such a law was designed to support the rich, with the result that the poor suffered.
At the same time, there were positive aspects to Harrison’s politics. Under his reign, the U.S. Navy was greatly strengthened and expanded, and the development of the forest reserve sector was seen. In addition, six more states were added to the United States during his reign.
