William
McKinley was the 25th president of the United states, from 1897 to
1901. McKinley was a dirty capitalist who "hoped to make American
producers supreme in world markets". One of the ways he did this was to
push the annexation of Hawaii in 1897. He hoped to americanize it and
establish a naval base. McKinley's ties to capitalism are also seen in
his appointments; he made John George Alexander Leishman, president of
Carnegie Steel, the minister to Switzerland and Turkey.
Two wars
were fought while he was in office, the Spanish-American war and the
Philippine-American war, which resulted in the death of almost 300,000
people.
He was shot twice by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist.
Czolgosz acted alone and is quoted as saying, "I killed President
McKinley because I done my duty. I didn't believe one man should have
so much service and another man should have none.". He was sentenced to
death.
