Prezident muhri (1894–1945)

The Uilyam Makkinlining prezidentligi qachon 1897 yil 4 martda boshlangan Uilyam Makkinli inauguratsiya qilingan va 1901 yil 14 sentyabrda vafoti bilan tugagan. U eng yaxshi xalqni g'alabaga olib borganligi bilan tanilgan. Ispaniya-Amerika urushi (1898), ga egalik qilish Gavayi Respublikasi sotib olish Filippinlar, Guam va Puerto-Riko. Bunga 1897 yil kiradi Dingli tarifi ishlab chiqaruvchilar va fabrika ishchilarini chet el raqobatidan himoya qilish va Oltin standart qonun 1900 yil rad etilgan bepul kumush inflyatsiya takliflari. Iqtisodiy tez o'sish va mehnat ziddiyatlarining pasayishi ham prezidentlikni belgilab berdi.

The AQShning 25-prezidenti, McKinley quyidagi lavozimga kirishdi 1896 yilgi prezident saylovi, unda u mag'lub bo'ldi Demokrat Uilyam Jennings Bryan. Kampaniyada McKinley targ'ibot qildi "yaxshi pul ", yuqori tariflar farovonlikni tiklaydi deb va'da berdi va Bryanni targ'ib qilgan radikal sifatida qoraladi sinfiy urush. U yana Bryanni mag'lub etdi 1900 yilgi prezident saylovi, Filippindagi imperializmga qaratilgan kampaniyada yuqori tariflar va bepul kumush. MakKinlining prezidentligi Amerika siyosiy tarixida "deb nomlangan davrning boshlanishi bo'ldiTo'rtinchi partiya tizimi "yoki"Progressive Era, "1890-yillarning o'rtalaridan 1930-yillarning boshlariga qadar davom etdi. Milliy darajada bu davr odatda hukmronlik qildi. Respublika partiyasi.

1897–98 yillarda eng dolzarb masala an Kubadagi qo'zg'olon yillar davomida yomonlashib kelayotgan repressiv ispan mustamlakachiligiga qarshi. Amerikaliklar isyonchilarga hamdard bo'lib, inqirozni hal qilish uchun chora ko'rishni talab qilishdi. Ma'muriyat Ispaniyani o'z hukmronligini liberallashtirishga ishontirishga urindi, ammo muzokaralar muvaffaqiyatsiz tugagach, ikkala tomon ham urushni xohlashdi. Amerikadagi g'alaba Ispaniya-Amerika urushi tez va hal qiluvchi edi. Urush paytida Qo'shma Shtatlar vaqtincha egalik qildi Kuba; unga mustaqillik va'da qilingan edi, ammo u MakKinlining prezidentligi davrida AQSh armiyasi nazorati ostida qoldi. Filippinlarning maqomi qattiq muhokama qilindi va 1900 yilgi saylovlarda Demokratlar Amerikaning egaligiga qarshi bo'lib, muammoga aylandi. Makkinli Amerikaning himoyasiga muhtoj deb qaror qildi va u 1940-yillarga qadar AQSh nazorati ostida qoldi. Urush natijasida AQSh Guam va Puerto-Rikoni ham doimiy ravishda egallab oldi. Makkinli boshchiligida AQSh ham ilova qilingan mustaqil Gavayi Respublikasi 1898 yilda. Boshqa yangi mulklardan farqli o'laroq, Gavayi fuqarolari Amerika fuqarolariga, Gavayi esa a tayinlangan hokim bilan hudud. Makkinlining tashqi siyosati chet elda imperiya yaratdi va AQShni dunyodagi yirik davlatlar ro'yxatiga kiritdi.

1897 yilda iqtisodiyot tezda depressiyadan qutuldi 1893 yilgi vahima. 1900 yilda McKinley tarafdorlari yangi yuqori tarif va oltin standartiga sodiqlik javobgar ekanligini ta'kidladilar. Uning ichki va tashqi siyosatiga nazar tashlaydigan tarixchilar odatda MakKinlini "o'rtacha darajadan yuqori" prezident sifatida baholaydi. Tarixchi Lyuis L.Guld MakKinlining "birinchi zamonaviy prezident" bo'lganligini ta'kidlaydi:

U respublikachilarni millatning ko'pchilik partiyasi sifatida tasdiqlagan siyosiy rahbar edi; u tashqi siyosatdagi muhim ketishlar me'mori edi; va u zamonaviy prezidentlik evolyutsiyasiga katta hissa qo'shgan. Ushbu yutuqlar haqida uning AQSh tarixidagi muhim shaxs sifatida muhim da'volari asos bo'ldi.^[1]

1896 yilgi saylov

McKinley Respublikachilar partiyasi ichida taniqli kongressmen sifatida tanilgan himoya tariflari. U 1880 va 1890 yillarda milliy miqyosdagi saylovoldi tashviqoti uchun milliy shuhrat qozondi va 1891 yilda u saylovda g'olib bo'ldi Ogayo shtati gubernatori.^[2] 1896 yilgi saylovlar oldidan Makkinli va uning menejeri Klivlend ishbilarmonlari Mark Xanna, prezidentlik taklifini jimgina qo'llab-quvvatladi.^[3] Qachon spiker raqiblari Tomas Braket Rid va senator Uilyam B. Allison o'z nomzodlarini qo'llab-quvvatlashni tashkil qilish uchun o'z shtatlaridan tashqarida agentlarini yuborgan, ular McKinley agentlari ulardan oldin bo'lganligini aniqladilar.^[4] Vaqt bilan 1896 yilgi respublikachilarning milliy anjumani iyun oyida Sent-Luisda boshlandi, Makkinli ko'pchilik delegatlarga ega edi va u konvensiyaning birinchi byulletenida nomzodlikni qo'lga kiritdi. Xanna respublika milliy qo'mitasi raisining o'rinbosari etib saylandi Garret Xobart vitse-prezident uchun Nyu-Jersidan. Boy advokat, ishbilarmon va shtatning sobiq qonun chiqaruvchisi Xobart keng tanilgan emas, balki Xanna biografi sifatida Gerbert Kroli "agar u chiptani kuchaytirish uchun ozgina harakat qilsa, uni zaiflashtirish uchun hech narsa qilmagan" deb ta'kidladi.^[5]

1896 yil iyun Harper haftaligi McKinley-ni azob bilan ko'rsatadigan multfilm temir yo'lda yurish valyuta masalasi.

Qurultoy oldidan so'nggi kunlarda Makkinli siyosatchilar va ishbilarmonlarning fikrlarini eshitib, platformani tasdiqlashi kerak degan qarorga keldi. oltin standart, garchi bunga imkon berishi kerak bo'lsa bimetalizm xalqaro shartnoma asosida. Platformaning qabul qilinishi sabab bo'ldi ba'zi g'arbiy delegatlar, Kolorado senatori boshchiligida Genri M. Teller, qurultoydan chiqib ketish. Biroq, respublikachilar bu masalada Demokratlar kabi deyarli ikkiga bo'linmadilar, ayniqsa MakKinli kumush himoyachilariga kelajakdagi imtiyozlarni va'da qilgani kabi.^[6][7] Demokratik Prezident Grover Klivlend oltin standartni qat'iy qo'llab-quvvatladi, ammo qishloq demokratlari sonining ko'payishi, ayniqsa Misr kamari va g'arbiy shtatlar, bimetalik chaqirdi "bepul kumush "tizim.^[8][9] Kumushlar boshqaruvni o'z qo'liga oldi 1896 yil demokratlarning milliy qurultoyi va tanladi Uilyam Jennings Bryan prezident uchun; u delegatlarni o'zi bilan elektrlashtirgan edi Oltin xoch nutqi o'zining yakuniy iborasi bilan mashhur bo'lgan: "Siz bu tikanak tojini mehnat qoshiga bosmang, insoniyatni oltin xochga mixlamaysiz".^[10] Bryanning moliyaviy radikalizmi bankirlarni hayratga soldi, chunki ko'pchilik uning inflyatsion dasturi temir yo'llarni bankrot qiladi va iqtisodiyotni buzadi deb o'ylardi. Xanna bu bankirlarni qo'llab-quvvatladi va respublikachilarga katta moliyaviy ustunlik berdi, bu McKinley kampaniyasida ma'ruzachilar uchun 3,5 million dollar sarmoya kiritishga va pul va tarif masalalarida respublikachilarning pozitsiyasini himoya qiluvchi 200 milliondan ortiq risolalarni tarqatishga imkon berdi.^[8][9]

Respublikachilar partiyasi 200 million risolani chop etdi va tarqatdi va yuzlab ma'ruzachilarni etkazib berish uchun butun mamlakat bo'ylab yubordi qoqilgan nutqlar McKinley nomidan. Bryan radikal, demagag va sotsialist sifatida tasvirlangan bo'lsa, Makkinli to'liq ish bilan ta'minlash va sanoat o'sishi kafolati sifatida tanlangan. Sentyabr oyining oxiriga kelib, partiya kumush nashrida bosma materiallarni to'xtatdi va butunlay tarif masalasiga e'tibor qaratdi.^[11][12] Jang maydoni O'rta G'arb ekanligi isbotlandi - Janub va G'arbning katta qismi demokratlarga bo'ysundirildi va Brayan ko'p vaqtini o'sha muhim davlatlarda o'tkazdi.^[13][14]

1896 saylovchilarning ovoz berish natijalari.

1896 yil 3-noyabrda Makkinli g'alaba qozondi Saylov kolleji 271 ovoz bilan 176 ga qarshi ovoz bering va 7,102,246 mashhur ovozni Bryanning 6 502 925 ovoziga qabul qiling.^[15] McKinley butun shimoli-sharqiy va o'rta g'arbiy qismida g'olib bo'ldi. Bryan butunlay kumush masalasiga e'tiborini qaratgan va shahar ishchilarini jalb qilish uchun murojaatini kengaytirmagan. McKinley-ning Amerika sanoatini himoya bojlari va oltinga asoslangan dollar orqali yanada kuchliroq markaziy hukumat qurish haqidagi fikri g'alaba qozondi.^[16] McKinley koalitsiyasiga Shimoliy shaharlarning aksariyati, badavlat dehqonlar, sanoat ishchilari va etnik saylovchilarning ko'pchiligi kirdi. Irlandiyalik amerikaliklar.^[17] 1896 yilgi prezident saylovlari ko'pincha a saylovni qayta tashkil etish Shu bilan birga, xalqning diqqat markazida fuqarolar urushi oqibatida etkazilgan zararni tiklashdan, ijtimoiy islohotlar yo'li bilan kelajak uchun qurilishga yo'naltirildi.^[18] Bu, shuningdek, Kongress va Oq Uy ustidan respublikachilarning uzoq vaqt davomida nazoratini boshlashi bilan haqiqiy saylov edi To'rtinchi partiya tizimi, bu davom etadi 1932 yilgacha.^[19]

Birinchi inauguratsiya

Bosh sudya Melvil Fuller prezident sifatida Uilyam Makkinliga qasamyod qildi; ketayotgan Prezident Grover Klivlend o'ngda

MakKinlining birinchi prezidentlik inauguratsiyasi 1897 yil 4 martda, Senatning asl qanoti oldida, AQSh Kapitoliy. Bosh sudya Melvil Fuller qasamyod qildi. Bu tomonidan yozilgan birinchi ochilish marosimi edi kinofilm kamera.^[20] Makkinli ochilish marosimida uzoq muddatli nutq so'zladi va unda tariflarni isloh qilishga chaqirdi va valyuta masalasi tarif qonunchiligini kutishi kerakligini aytdi. Shuningdek, u AQShning tashqi aralashuvidan ogohlantirdi va

Biz istilo urushlarini istamaymiz. Biz hududiy tajovuz vasvasasidan qochishimiz kerak.^[21]

Nik Kapurning ta'kidlashicha, MakKinlining ustuvor yo'nalishlari uning tashqi bosimlarga emas, balki arbitrlik, pasifizm, gumanitarizm va o'zini tutish qadriyatlariga asoslangan.^[22]

Ma'muriyat

Meyn kongressmen Kichik Nelson Dingli Makkinlining xazina kotibi uchun birinchi tanlovi edi, ammo Dingli rais bo'lib qolishni ma'qul ko'rdi Yo'llar va vositalar qo'mitasi. Charlz Deys Saylovoldi paytida Chikagoda Xannaning leytenanti bo'lgan, G'aznachilik lavozimiga saylangan, ammo ba'zi ma'lumotlarga ko'ra Deyv o'zini juda yosh deb hisoblagan; u buning o'rniga valyuta nazorati 1898 yilda McKinley oxir-oqibat tayinlandi Lyman J. Gage, prezidenti Chikago birinchi milliy banki va a Oltin demokrat, xazina kotibi sifatida.^[23] Ning etakchisi Dengiz kuchlari departamenti Massachusets shtatining sobiq kongressmeniga bordi Jon Devis Long, MakKinlining Vakillar Palatasida xizmat qilgan davridan beri eski hamkasbi.^[24] Garchi dastlab MakKinli Longga o'zinikisini tanlashiga imkon berishga moyil bo'lsa ham flot kotibining yordamchisi, saylangan prezidentga tayinlash uchun katta bosim o'tkazildi Teodor Ruzvelt, Nyu-York shahar politsiya komissiyasining rahbari. Makkinli Ruzveltni tayinlashni istamadi va Ruzveltni kuchaytiruvchilardan biriga: "Men tinchlikni xohlayman va sizning do'stingiz Teodor har doim hamma bilan saf tortib yurishini aytishadi", deb aytdi. Shunga qaramay, u Ruzveltni tayinladi.^[25]

Makkinli tanladi Jeyms Uilson, Ayova shtatida kuchli qo'llab-quvvatlangan sobiq kongressmen, uning qishloq xo'jaligi kotibi bo'lish. Postmaster General uchun McKinley-ning birinchi tanlovi Mark Xanna edi, ammo u bu lavozimni rad etdi. Makkinli tayinlash haqida ham o'ylab ko'rdi Genri Kley Peyn, ammo qarshilik Robert M. La Follette Partiya fraktsiyasi uni boshqa shaxsni tayinlashga ishontirdi. Makkinli qaror qildi Jeyms Albert Gari, Merilenddan respublikachi. Bosh prokuror lavozimiga McKinley uyning boshqa eski do'stiga murojaat qildi, Jozef MakKenna Kaliforniya shtati. Kornelius Nyuton Blis bo'lingan Nyu-York respublikachilar partiyasi tomonidan ma'qul bo'lgan, ichki ishlar kotibi etib tanlangan.^[26] Ning pozitsiyasi urush kotibi ga ketgan Rassel A. Alger, shuningdek, gubernator sifatida xizmat qilgan sobiq general Michigan. Tinchlik davrida etarlicha vakolatli bo'lgan Alger bir marta etarli emasligini isbotladi Ispaniya-Amerika urushi boshlangan. Bilan Urush bo'limi janjaldan aziyat chekkan Alger 1899 yil o'rtalarida Makkinlining iltimosiga binoan iste'foga chiqdi va uning o'rnini egalladi. Elihu Root. Urush paytida general Genri Klark Korbin sifatida McKinley ishonchini qozondi yordamchi general armiyasi va Korbin MakKinli ma'muriyati homiyligida amaldagi armiya qo'mondoni sifatida ishlagan.^[27]

McKinley-ning eng munozarali vazirlar mahkamasiga tayinlanishi shu bo'ldi Jon Sherman kabi davlat kotibi.^[28] Sherman bu lavozim uchun Makkinlining birinchi tanlovi emas edi; u dastlab senator Uilyam Allisonga taklif qildi. Senator Shermanni tayinlashda ko'rib chiqilgan masalalardan biri - Xanna uchun Senatda joy ajratish va Sherman bo'lib xizmat qilgani kabi. xazina kotibi Prezident davrida Rezerford B. Xeys, faqat davlat pozitsiyasi uni Senatdan jalb qilishi mumkin edi. Shermanning aqliy qobiliyatlari 1896 yilda ham tanazzulga yuz tutgan; bu siyosiy doiralarda keng muhokama qilindi, ammo Makkinli bu mish-mishlarga ishonmadi.^[29] Shermanning aqliy qobiliyatsizligi u ish boshlaganidan keyin tobora ko'proq namoyon bo'ldi. Uni birinchi yordamchisi Makkinlining yordamchisi tez-tez chetlab o'tardi Kanton kroni Uilyam R. Day va ikkinchi kotib tomonidan, Alvey A. Adee. Dio, Ogayo shtatining diplomatiyani yaxshi bilmagan advokati, uchrashuvlarda tez-tez indamas edi; Adee kar bo'lgan. Bitta diplomat kelishuvni xarakterladi: "bo'lim boshlig'i hech narsani bilmasdi, birinchi yordamchi hech narsa demadi, ikkinchi yordamchi esa hech narsa eshitmadi".^[30] Makkinli 1898 yilda Shermanni iste'foga chiqishini so'radi va Day yangi davlat kotibi bo'ldi. Keyinchalik, o'sha kuni Day muvaffaqiyat qozondi Jon Xey, Xeys ma'muriyatida davlat kotibi yordamchisi bo'lib ishlagan faxriy diplomat.^[31] McKinley o'zining kabinetiga 1898 yilda yana ikkita o'zgartirish kiritdi; Charlz Emori Smit Gari kasal bo'lib, Postmaster General lavozimini egalladi John W. Griggs McKenna Oliy sudga kelganidan keyin Bosh prokuror sifatida McKenna o'rnini egalladi.^[32]

Makkinlining ofisdagi ko'p vaqtlari, Jorj B. Kortelyu prezident sifatida xizmat qilgan shaxsiy kotib. Kortelyu de-fakto vazifasini bajardi Oq uy matbuot kotibi va shtat boshlig'i.^[33] Vitse prezident Garret Xobart, o'sha paytda odatdagidek, Vazirlar Mahkamasining yig'ilishlariga taklif qilinmagan, ammo u Makkinlining qimmatli maslahatchisini isbotlagan. Xobart Oq uyga yaqin turar joyni ijaraga oldi va ikki oila bir-birlariga rasmiyatchiliksiz tashrif buyurishdi.^[34] Xobart 1899 yil noyabrda yurak xastaligidan vafot etdi.^[35] Vitse-prezidentlik ichidagi vakansiyani to'ldirish uchun konstitutsiyaviy qoidalar mavjud emas edi (ratifikatsiya qilinishidan oldin Yigirma beshinchi o'zgartirish 1967 yilda), vakolat muddati davomida ofis bo'sh qoldi. 1901 yil mart oyida 1900 yilgi saylovlarda MakKinlining sherigi bo'lib xizmat qilgan Teodor Ruzvelt vitse-prezident bo'ldi.

Sud tayinlovlari

Adolat nafaqaga chiqqanidan keyin Stiven Jonson Maydon, MakKinli Bosh prokuror etib tayinlandi Jozef MakKenna uchun Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari Oliy sudi 1897 yil dekabrda.^[36] Ushbu lavozimga tayinlanish ba'zi bahs-munozaralarni keltirib chiqardi, chunki Senatdagi MakKennani tanqidchilar u temir yo'l manfaatlari bilan chambarchas bog'liq va Oliy sud sudyasi malakasiga ega emas deb aytishdi.^[37] E'tirozlarga qaramay, McKenna nomzodi bir ovozdan ma'qullandi.^[38] MakKenna yuridik ta'limi tanqidiga ba'zi kurslarda qatnashib javob berdi Kolumbiya yuridik fakulteti uning o'rnini egallashdan oldin bir necha oy davomida.^[37] MakKenna 1925 yilgacha sudda ishlagan, ko'pincha ko'proq konservativ va ilg'or sudyalar o'rtasida markazchilik lavozimlarini egallagan.^[39] Oliy sudni tayinlash bilan bir qatorda, MakKinli oltita sudyani tayinladi Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlarining apellyatsiya sudlari va 28 nafar sudya Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlarining tuman sudlari.^[40]

Ichki ishlar

Iqtisodiyot va trestlar

1899 yilgi antitrestlik multfilmi Gomer Davenport

Keyingi uzoq va chuqur depressiya 1893 yilgi vahima nihoyat 1896 yil oxirida yakunlandi, chunki 1897 yildagi barcha iqtisodiy ko'rsatkichlar ijobiy tomonga o'zgargan. Ishbilarmonlik gazetalari va jurnallari 1897 yil davomida optimistik ma'ruzalar bilan to'ldirildi Nyu-York tijorat 1898 yil 3-yanvar kuni butun mamlakat bo'ylab turli xil korxonalar va tarmoqlarni o'rganib chiqib, "uch yillik kutish va soxta ishlardan so'ng, talabning asoslari nihoyat barqarorlik bilan ko'tarila boshlandi, bu esa farovonlik davri borligiga shubha qilmaydi. paydo bo'ldi. " Unda 1898 yil yanvar oyi "depressiyadan qiyosiy farovonlikka o'tish davridagi eng yuqori lahzani" ifodalaydi.^[41] 1895 yilda qariyb 20 foizni tashkil etgan ishsizlik darajasi 1897 yilda 15 foizga, 1898 yil boshida 8 foizga tushdi.^[42]

MakKinli asosan Klivlend ma'muriyati tutgan laisse-faire munosabatiga sodiq qoldi ishonchlar. Bosh prokurorlar Jozef MakKenna va Jon V. Griggz ba'zi antitrestlik ishlarini ta'qib qilganlar Sherman antitrest qonuni va Oliy sud ishi Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari va E. C. Knight Co., ammo MakKinli ma'muriyati konsolidatsiya ko'p hollarda foydali bo'lishi mumkin degan qarashga hamdardlik bildirdi. Ishonchlarning roli haqidagi munozaralar McKinley prezidentligi davrida o'sib bordi va bu masala McKinley prezidentligidan keyin tobora muhim ahamiyat kasb etardi.^[43]

Tariflar va pul-kredit siyosati

Dingli tarifi

1900 yilgi qayta tanlov afishasi askarlar, dengizchilar, ishbilarmonlar, fabrika ishchilari va mutaxassislarining ko'magi bilan oltin standartda baland turgan Makkini nishonlaydi.

1896 yilgi saylovlardan so'ng, MakKinli murojaat qilish uchun Kongressning maxsus sessiyasini chaqirishini aytdi tarif, va Kongress a'zosi Dingli 1896 yil dekabrida qonun loyihasini tinglashni boshladi oqsoq o'rdak Klivlendning prezidentlik davri.^[44] Demokratlar narxlarni ko'tarish orqali iste'molchilarga zarar etkazishini ta'kidlab, yuqori tariflarga qarshi chiqishga moyil bo'lishgan bo'lsa, Makkinli va boshqa etakchi respublikachilar yuqori tariflarni Amerika biznesini chet el raqobatidan himoya qilish uchun muhim deb hisoblashdi.^[45] Bundan tashqari, tarif hukumat daromadlarining deyarli yarmini ta'minlagan va stavkalarning o'sishi hukumat 1893 yil vahima paytida yuz bergan defitsitni to'xtatishga yordam berishi mumkin.^[45] Ishga kirishishdan oldin Makkinli senatorga vakolat ham berdi Edvard O. Vulkott Kolorado shtati Evropaga xalqaro bimetalik kelishuv imkoniyatlarini muhokama qilish uchun borishi kerak.^[44] Xalqaro bimetalizm bepul kumush tarafdorlari va oltin standartni qo'llab-quvvatlovchilar o'rtasida o'rta kursni namoyish etdi.^[46]

Kongressning maxsus sessiyasi 1897 yil mart oyida chaqirilganda, Dingli ushbu sessiyani taqdim etdi Dingli qonuni qayta ko'rib chiqish Uilson-Gorman tariflari to'g'risidagi qonun 1894 yil^[47] McKinley jun, shakar va hashamatli tovarlarga tariflarni oshiradigan qonun loyihasini qo'llab-quvvatladi, ammo taklif qilingan yangi stavkalar Frantsuz, ko'plab hashamatli narsalarni AQShga eksport qilgan.^[48] Dingli qonuni Vakilni osongina qabul qildi, ammo Senatda qarshilikka duch keldi. Qonun loyihasini Senatda qabul qilish uchun bir necha G'arbiy respublikachilar, shu jumladan, bimetalizm bo'yicha xalqaro bitim bo'lgan Volkottning ko'magi kerak edi.^[49] Frantsiya vakillari yangi tarif stavkalari pasaytirilsa, AQSh bilan bunday xalqaro shartnomani ishlab chiqishda hamkorlik qilishni taklif qilishdi.^[50] Vulkott boshchiligidagi, Allison, Nelson Aldrich va Orville X. Platt, Senat Dingli qonuniga frantsuz mahsulotlariga narxlarni pasaytirish bo'yicha o'zgartirish kiritdi va xalqaro bimetalik kelishuv bo'yicha muzokaralar olib borish uchun mas'ul bo'lgan komissiyani tasdiqladi.^[51]

Xalqaro valyuta kelishuviga erishish ehtimoli borasida shubhalar kuchayib borar ekan, Senat prezidentga tarif bojlarini o'zaro pasaytirishni nazarda tutuvchi ikki tomonlama shartnomalarni imzolash huquqini beradigan qoidani kiritdi.^[52] Senat qonun loyihasini 1897 yil iyulda qabul qildi va a konferentsiya qo'mitasi o'zaro kelishuvni o'z ichiga olgan, lekin odatda uyning dastlabki qonun loyihasi tomonidan belgilangan yuqori tarif stavkalariga rioya qilingan yakuniy qonun loyihasini ishlab chiqardi.^[53] O'zaro kelishuv g'oyasini qat'iy qo'llab-quvvatlagan Makkinli 1897 yil iyul oyi oxirida Dingli qonunini imzoladi.^[54] Keyinchalik Makkinli ma'muriyati Frantsiya va boshqa mamlakatlar bilan o'zaro kelishuvlarga erishdi, ammo Senatdagi qarama-qarshiliklar ularni ratifikatsiya qilishga xalaqit berdi.^[55]

Pul-kredit siyosati

Kongress ushbu tarifni muhokama qilar ekan, AQSh va Frantsiya bimetalizmga bo'lgan ishtiyoqini aniqlash uchun Britaniyaga murojaat qilishdi. Bosh vazir hukumati Lord Solsberi g'oyaga biroz qiziqish bildirgan va Vulkottga zarbxonalarni qayta ochishga yaroqli bo'lishini aytgan Hindiston agar hindistonlik bo'lsa, kumush tangalarga Vitseroyning Ijroiya Kengashi rozi bo'ldi. Oltin standartdan chiqib ketishi mumkinligi haqidagi xabar oltin partizanlarning zudlik bilan qarshiligini qo'zg'atdi va Hindiston ma'muriyatining shubhalari Britaniyani taklifni rad etishga olib keldi. Britaniyaning qarama-qarshiligi Frantsiya, Buyuk Britaniya va AQSh tomonidan bimetalizmni birgalikda qabul qilish bo'yicha muzokaralar qulashiga olib keldi.^[56]

Xalqaro harakatlar muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchraganligi sababli, MakKinli kumush tangalardan yuz o'girdi va oltin standartni qabul qildi. Bepul kumush uchun hayajonlanish susayib, farovonlik qaytib keldi va so'nggi ish tashlashlarda oltin Yukon va Avstraliya kumush tangalarsiz ham pul ta'minotini oshirdi.^[57] Xalqaro kelishuv bo'lmagan taqdirda, Makkinli oltin standartni rasmiy ravishda tasdiqlash to'g'risidagi qonunchilikni ma'qulladi, ammo dastlab Senatdagi kumush kuchi bilan to'xtatildi.^[58] 1900 yilda, yana bir kampaniya bilan Makkinli iqtisodiy sharoitlar kuchli bo'lgan paytda Kongressni shunday qonunni qabul qilishga undaydi. Aldrich va Senatning boshqa etakchi respublikachilari oltinni qutqarish uchun yagona standart sifatida belgilaydigan qonun loyihasini ishlab chiqdilar qog'oz pul, lekin Vulkott va boshqa G'arbiy Respublikachilarni xalqaro bimetalizmga imkon beradigan qoidalarni qo'shib joylashtirdi. Senat 1900 yil mart oyida partiyaviy ovoz berishda qonun loyihasini qabul qildi va Makkinli shu oyning oxirida qonunni imzoladi.^[59] Demokratlar 1900 yilda bepul kumushni saylovoldi tashviqoti masalasiga aylantirishga urinishgan, ammo bu ko'pchilikning e'tiborini jalb qilmagan.^[60]

Plyuralizm

MakKinlining 1896 yildagi saylovlardagi murojaatining asosiy elementi plyuralizm ruhi edi. Amerikada biron bir guruh chetlatilmasligi yoki taqiqlanishi kerak emas edi. Hamma yangi farovonlikdan bahramand bo'lish uchun xush kelibsiz.^[61] McKinley irqi, millati, mintaqasi va sinfiga nisbatan juda keng jozibaga ega edi. Bryan bankirlar va temir yo'llarni masxara qilgan va qoralagan joyda, Makkinli ishbilarmonlarni qabul qildi. McKinley amerikalik fabrika ishchilarining yuqori ish haqini himoya qilish uchun yuqori tariflarning chempioni sifatida mashhur edi. Immigratsiyani cheklash bo'yicha takliflar va yahudiylarga qarshi hujumlar, Sharqiy evropaliklar va Janubiy evropaliklar McKinley ma'muriyatida joy yo'q edi. U Irlandiya katolik ishchilarining etakchisi etib tayinlandi Terens Vinsent Pudli asoschisi Mehnat ritsarlari Tashkilot, immigratsiya bosh komissari sifatida.^[62] Respublikachilar senatori tomonidan taklif qilingan savodxonlik testlari kabi immigratsiya cheklovlari Genri Kabot uyi Massachusets va uning ittifoqchilari Immigratsiya cheklash ligasi (1894 yilda tashkil etilgan) 1896 yilgi GOP platformasiga kiritilgan edi, ammo Makkinli va Kongressdagi partiya rahbariyati ularning o'tishini to'sib qo'yishdi.^[63] The katoliklikka qarshi kurash ning tez pasayishi ko'rsatilgandek, 1890-yillarda paydo bo'la boshlagan Amerika himoya uyushmasi.^[64] Shunga qaramay, cheklangan immigratsion qonunlar Makkinlining davrida va undan keyin ham qo'llab-quvvatlanishda davom etishi mumkin edi, bu qisman kelgan immigrantlar sonining ko'payishi bilan bog'liq. Janubiy Evropa va Sharqiy Evropa.^[65]

Janubiy oqlar bilan yarashish

McKinley plyuralizmining eng muhim ustuvor yo'nalishi - AQShga psixologik va vatanparvarlik bilan oq tanli janubni to'liq birlashtirish edi. Ushbu tashabbus qora tanlilarning janubda tobora cheklanib kelinayotgan fuqarolik huquqlariga zid edi. McKinley rasmiy ravishda "Konfederatsiyaning yo'qolgan sababi "U tayinlash, nutq so'zlash va oq janubga tashrif buyurish borasida erishdi. Ijtimoiy-Ispaniya urushi paytida yarashuvga erishildi, chunki janub bo'ylab harbiy xizmatga olish darajasi juda yuqori edi. Tezkor g'alaba, albatta, yarashuv jarayonini kuchaytirdi.^[66]Tarixchi Devid V. Blight bahslashadi:

Yo'qotilgan sabab aniq sentimentalizm, siyosiy tortishuvlar va takrorlanadigan bayram va marosimlar natijasida milliy yarashuvning ajralmas qismiga aylandi. Aksariyat oq tanli janubliklar uchun "Yo'qotilgan sabab" oqlanish va yangilanish tiliga aylandi, shuningdek ular o'zlarining janubiy mag'rurligini ham, amerikaliklarini ham mustahkamlashi mumkin bo'lgan bir qator amaliyotlar va jamoat yodgorliklariga aylandi. 1890-yillarda Konfederatsiya xotiralari endi motam tutish yoki mag'lubiyatni tushuntirishga ko'proq ahamiyat bermadi; Ular butun mamlakat irqiy, siyosiy va ishlab chiqarish tartibsizliklariga qarshi kurasha oladigan konservativ an'analarning to'plamini taklif qildilar. Konfederatsiya askarini qahramonona yo'qotishning fazilati bilan erkaklar sadoqati va jasorat namunalari gender tashvishlari va shafqatsiz moddiy intilish davrida ta'minlandi.^[67]

O'sib borayotgan irqiy ziddiyatlar

Qora ovoz 1896 yilda MakKinlini qo'llab-quvvatladi va afroamerikaliklar irqiy tenglikka erishish yo'lidan umidvor edilar. McKinley qarshi gapirdi linchalash 1896 yilda gubernator va ovoz bera oladigan afroamerikaliklarning aksariyati uni qo'llab-quvvatladilar. Biroq Makkinlining ustuvor yo'nalishi seksualizmni tugatish edi va afroamerikaliklar uning siyosati va tayinlovlaridan umuman hafsalasi pir bo'lgan. MakKinli afroamerikaliklarni ba'zi bir past darajadagi hukumat lavozimlariga tayinlagan va buning uchun maqtovga sazovor bo'lgan bo'lsa-da, tayinlashlar avvalgi respublika ma'muriyatlari davrida bo'lganidan kamroq edi. Blanche Bryus, davomida afroamerikalik Qayta qurish Missisipidan senator bo'lib ishlagan, G'aznachilik departamentida ro'yxatga olish lavozimini olgan; bu lavozim an’anaviy ravishda afroamerikalikka respublikachilar prezidentlari tomonidan berilgan. Makkinli bir nechta qora postmasterslarni tayinladi; ammo, oq tanlilar Jastin V.Layonsning postmaster etib tayinlanishiga norozilik bildirishganda Augusta, Gruziya, MakKinli Liondan chiqib ketishni so'radi (keyinchalik 1898 yilda Bryus vafot etganidan keyin unga G'aznachilik registri lavozimi berildi).^[68] Prezident, shuningdek, sobiq qul bo'lgan Jorj B. Jeksonni bojxona yig'uvchisi lavozimiga tayinladi Presidio, Texas. Shimoliy shtatlarda yashovchi afroamerikaliklar Makkinlining g'alabasiga qo'shgan hissalari e'tibordan chetda qolgandek tuyuldi, chunki ozchilik lavozimga tayinlangan.^[68]

McKinley, (markazning o'ng tomonida) Gruziya gubernatori tomonidan Allen D. Kandler (MakKinlining chap tomonidagi oldingi qator) va Gen. Uilyam Rufus Shftr, 1898 yil 15-dekabrda Atlanta tinchlik yubileyi paradini ko'rib chiqish.

Afro-amerikaliklar 1898 yilda urush boshlanishini o'zlarining vatanparvarliklarini namoyish etish uchun imkoniyat deb bildilar va qora tanli askarlar El Kaney va San-Xuan tepaliklarida jasorat bilan jang qildilar. Afrikalik amerikaliklar tinchlik davrida armiyada elita bo'linmalarini tashkil etishgan; Shunday bo'lsa-da, ular urushga kirishish uchun G'arbdan Tampaga borganlarida, ularni oq tanlilar ta'qib qilishdi. Qora tanli rahbarlarning bosimi ostida MakKinli Urush departamentidan leytenant unvonidan yuqori qora tanli ofitserlarni tayinlashni talab qildi. Qora qo'shinlarning qahramonligi hali ham Janubda irqiy ziddiyatlarni davom ettirmadi, chunki 1898 yilning ikkinchi yarmida irqiy zo'ravonlik bir necha bor avj oldi; o'n bitta afroamerikalik o'ldirildi tartibsizliklarda yilda Uilmington, Shimoliy Karolina.^[69] MakKinli 1898 yil oxirida janubni aylanib chiqib, qismli yarashishga umid qildi. Tashrifdan tashqari Tuskegee instituti va Booker T. Vashington, u Gruziya qonun chiqaruvchisiga kulrang nishoni taqib, Konfederatsiya yodgorliklariga tashrif buyurdi. Janubga qilgan safari davomida MakKinli irqiy ziddiyatlar va zo'ravonliklar haqida gapirmadi. Garchi prezident janubiy oqlardan zo'r qabul qilgan bo'lsa-da, rasmiy kutib olish qo'mitalaridan chetlatilgan ko'plab afroamerikaliklar, prezidentning so'zlari va xatti-harakatlaridan o'zlarini begona his qilishdi.^[69][70]

Ma'muriyatning irqiy zo'ravonliklarga bo'lgan munosabati minimal bo'lib, Makkinlini yana qora tanli qo'llab-quvvatlashdan mahrum qildi.^[68] Qora pochta ustalariga hujum qilinganida Xogansvill, Jorjia 1897 yilda va Leyk-Siti, Janubiy Karolina keyingi yil MakKinli hech qanday qoralash bayonotini chiqarmadi. Garchi qora tanli rahbarlar Makkinlini harakatsizligi uchun tanqid qilsalar-da, tarafdorlari bunga aralashish uchun prezidentning qo'lidan kelgancha ish yo'q deb javob berishdi. Tanqidchilar u hech bo'lmaganda sobiq prezident singari bunday voqealarni ommaviy ravishda qoralashi mumkin, deb javob berishdi Benjamin Xarrison qilgan edi.^[71] Makkinli ham o'tishning oldini olish uchun hech qanday choralar ko'rmadi Jim Crow qonunlari uchun mo'ljallangan huquqni bekor qilish va ajratmoq Janubdagi afroamerikaliklar.^[72] Guld va undan keyingi biograf Fillipsning fikriga ko'ra, janubdagi siyosiy iqlimni hisobga olgan holda, irqiy munosabatlarni yaxshilash uchun MakKinli ozgina ish qilishi mumkin edi va u irqiy tenglikka shubha qilgan keyingi prezidentlar Teodor Ruzveltdan yaxshiroq ish qildi va Vudro Uilson, ajratishni qo'llab-quvvatlagan.^[73]

Tashqi ishlar

Gavayi qo'shilishi

Ilova ning Gavayi Respublikasi 1898 yilda

Gavayi uzoq vaqt davomida AQSh bilan juda yaqin siyosiy, madaniy, diniy va iqtisodiy aloqalarda bo'lgan. Mahalliy aholi kichik qishloqlarda deyarli kuchsiz edi. Katta shakar manfaatlari o'nlab minglab ishchilarni, asosan yaponlarni olib kelgan. Ekspansionistlar anneksiya haqida gapirishdi va Gonoluludagi ishbilarmonlar aks holda Yaponiya uni armiyasi bo'lmagan podshohdan tortib olishidan qo'rqib, AQSh tomonidan qo'shib olishni xohlashdi. 1870-yillarda o'zaro bitim tuzilgan edi Gavayi qirolligi Qo'shma Shtatlarning "virtual sun'iy yo'ldoshi". Qirolichadan keyin Liliʻuokalani unga mutlaq kuch berish uchun mo'ljallangan yangi konstitutsiyani chiqarish rejalarini e'lon qildi, u darhol edi ag'darilgan Qo'shma Shtatlar tomonidan qo'shib olishni talab qilgan ishbilarmon doiralar tomonidan. ^[74] Prezident Xarrison Gavayini qo'shib olishga urinib ko'rdi, ammo uning muddati Senat tomonidan anneksiya shartnomasini ma'qullashidan oldin tugadi va Klivlend shartnomani bekor qildi.^[75] Klivlend kichik qirollikka qarshi axloqsiz harakat deb hisoblagan narsaga toqat qilmaydigan shaxsiy ishonchi tufayli qo'shilishga chuqur qarshi chiqdi.^[76] Bundan tashqari, anneksiya import qilinishiga qarshi bo'lgan ichki shakar manfaatlarining qarshiliklariga duch keldi Gavayi shakar va oq tanli bo'lmagan aholisi bo'lgan orolni olishga qarshi bo'lgan ba'zi demokratlardan.^[77] Gavayi vaqtincha hukumati tomonidan tashkil etilgan Gavayi Respublikasi mustaqil davlat sifatida jahon kuchlari tomonidan tan olingan.

Makkinli o'zining tashqi siyosatining ustuvor yo'nalishlaridan biri sifatida Gavayi Respublikasini anneksiya qilishni boshladi.^[78] Amerikaning qo'lida Gavayi Tinch okeanining katta qismida hukmronlik qilish, Tinch okeanining qirg'og'ini himoya qilish va Osiyo bilan savdoni kengaytirish uchun asos bo'lib xizmat qiladi.^[79] Respublika kongressmen Uilyam Sulzer "Gavayi orollari biz uchun Sharq tijoratini ochadigan kalit bo'ladi" deb ta'kidladi.^[80] MakKinli shunday dedi: "Bizga Gavayiga Kaliforniyadagidan ko'ra ko'proq va yaxshi kelishuv kerak. Bu shunday aniq taqdir."^[81] Prezident MakKinlining pozitsiyasi shundaki, Gavayi hech qachon o'z-o'zidan omon qololmaydi. Bu tezda Yaponiya tomonidan gobbled bo'lar edi - allaqachon orollar aholisining to'rtdan biri yaponlar edi.^[82] Shunda Yaponiya Tinch okeanida hukmronlik qiladi va Amerikaning Osiyo bilan keng miqyosli savdoga bo'lgan umidlarini susaytiradi.^[83][84]

Qo'shib olish masalasi AQSh bo'ylab 1900 yilgi prezidentlik saylovlariga o'tgan qizg'in munozarali asosiy siyosiy masalaga aylandi. O'sha paytgacha milliy konsensus Gavayi va Filippinlarni ham qo'shib olish tarafdori edi.^[85] Tarixchi Genri Graf 1890-yillarning o'rtalarida, "shubhasiz, uydagi tuyg'ular AQShning dunyodagi buyuk kuchlarga qo'shilib, chet eldagi mustamlakalarga intilishi uchun ulkan kuch bilan pishib yetgan edi".^[86]

Kengayish harakatiga qarshi tashkil etilgan mamlakat bo'ylab kuchli ekspansististik harakat qarshi turdi Amerika Anti-Imperialist Ligasi. Anti-imperialistlar Bryanni ham, sanoatchi ham tinglashdi Endryu Karnegi, muallif Mark Tven, sotsiolog Uilyam Grem Sumner va fuqarolik urushi davridagi ko'plab keksa islohotchilar.^[87] Anti-imperialistlar bunga ishonishdi imperializm degan asosiy tamoyilni buzgan respublika hukumati dan olish kerak "boshqariladiganlarning roziligi. "Anti-imperialist ligasi bunday faoliyat Amerika o'zini o'zi boshqarish va. Ideallaridan voz kechishni talab qiladi, deb ta'kidladi aralashmaslik - Mustaqillik Deklaratsiyasida ko'rsatilgan g'oyalar, Jorj Vashingtonning xayrlashish manzili va Avraam Linkoln "s Gettysburg manzili.^[88][89] Biroq, anti-imperialistlar imperializmning yanada baquvvat kuchlarini to'xtata olmadilar. Ularni davlat kotibi Xey, harbiy-dengiz strategiyasi boshqargan Alfred T. Mahan, Senator Genri Kabot Lodj, War Root kotibi va Teodor Ruzvelt. Ushbu ekspansistlar gazeta noshirlari tomonidan qattiq qo'llab-quvvatlandi Uilyam Randolf Xerst va Jozef Pulitser, kim mashhur hayajonni kaltakladi. Mahan va Ruzvelt raqobatbardosh zamonaviy dengiz flotini, Tinch okeani bazalarini, Nikaragua yoki Panama orqali istmiya kanalini va eng avvalo, AQShning eng yirik sanoat kuchi sifatida qat'iyatli rolini talab qiladigan global strategiyani ishlab chiqdilar.^[90] Ular Yaponiya harbiy kemasini jo'natayotgani va mustaqil Gavayini egallab olishga tayyor bo'lib, shu bilan Kaliforniya chegarasida bo'lishlari haqida ogohlantirdilar - bu G'arbiy sohilni qo'rqitdi. Dengiz kuchlari Yaponiya bilan urushga oid birinchi rejalarni tayyorladilar.^[91]

McKinley 1897 yil iyun oyida anneksiya shartnomasini taqdim etdi, ammo anti-imperialistlar Senatning uchdan ikki qismi tomonidan qo'llab-quvvatlanishiga to'sqinlik qildilar. 1898 yil o'rtalarida Ispaniya-Amerika urushi paytida Makkinli va uning kongressdagi ittifoqchilari qo'shilish choralarini Kongress tomonidan ma'qullash uchun yana bir urinish qildilar.^[92] Makkinlining ko'magi bilan Demokratik vakil Frensis G. Newlands Nevada shtati a qo'shma qaror bu Gavayi qo'shilishini ta'minladi. The Newlands rezolyutsiyasi Demokratlar va Palataning Spikeri singari ekspansionist respublikachilarning jiddiy qarshiligiga duch keldi, ammo Makkinlining bosimi bu qonunni Kongressning har ikkala palatasida katta ustunlik bilan qabul qilishga yordam berdi.^[93] McKinley 1898 yil 8-iyulda Newlands rezolyutsiyasini qonun bilan imzoladi.^[94] McKinley biografi X. Ueyn Morgan ta'kidlaganidek, "Makkinli Gavayi qo'shilishining etakchi ruhi bo'lib, uni ta'qib qilishda qat'iylik ko'rsatgan".^[94] Kongress o'tdi Gavayi organik qonuni 1900 yilda Gavayi hududi. Makkinli tayinlandi Sanford B. Dole, 1894 yildan 1898 yilgacha Gavayi Respublikasi prezidenti bo'lib ishlagan, birinchi hududiy gubernator sifatida.^[95]

Ispaniya-Amerika urushi

Kuba inqirozi

Kubadagi gumanitar aralashuvga chaqiruvchi tahririyat multfilmi. Kolumbiya (Amerika xalqi) 1897 yilda ezilgan Kubaga yordam berish uchun yordam beradi Sem amaki (AQSh hukumati) inqirozga ko'zi ojiz va yordam berish uchun o'zining kuchli qurollaridan foydalanmaydi. Hakam jurnal, 1897 yil 6-fevral.

Makkinli lavozimini egallashga qadar isyonchilar kirishdi Kuba o'nlab yillar davomida Ispaniya mustamlakachiligidan ozod bo'lish uchun davriy kampaniya olib borgan. 1895 yilga kelib, ziddiyat a ga qadar kengaygan mustaqillik uchun urush. Qo'shma Shtatlar va Kuba yaqin savdo aloqalarida edilar va Kuba qo'zg'oloni depressiyadan allaqachon zaiflashgan Amerika iqtisodiyotiga salbiy ta'sir ko'rsatdi.^[96] Isyon orolni qamrab olgach, Ispaniyaning qatag'onlari tobora kuchayib bordi va Ispaniya hukumati kubalik oilalarni Ispaniya harbiy bazalari yaqinidagi qo'riqlanadigan lagerlarga olib chiqishni boshladi.^[97] Isyonchilar oddiy amerikaliklarning hamdardligiga bo'lgan murojaatlariga ustuvor ahamiyat berishdi va jamoatchilik fikri tobora ko'proq isyonchilarni qo'llab-quvvatlamoqda.^[98] Prezident Klivlend Ispaniyaning orol ustidan doimiy nazoratini qo'llab-quvvatlagan edi, chunki Kubaning mustaqilligi irqiy urushga yoki boshqa Evropa kuchlarining aralashuviga olib keladi.^[99] Makkinli ham tinch yo'l bilan yondashishni ma'qul ko'rdi, ammo u Ispaniyani Kubaga mustaqillik berishiga yoki hech bo'lmaganda kubaliklarga qandaydir muxtoriyat berishga ishontirishga umid qildi.^[100] Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari va Ispaniya 1897 yilda bu borada muzokaralarni boshladilar, ammo Ispaniya Kubaning mustaqilligini hech qachon tan olmasligi, isyonchilar va ularning amerikalik tarafdorlari hech qachon kamroq narsaga rozi bo'lmasliklari aniq bo'ldi.^[101]

Ishbilarmonlik manfaatlari aksariyat hollarda MakKinlining sustkashlik siyosatini kuchli qo'llab-quvvatladi. Mamlakat bo'ylab yirik biznes, yuqori moliya va Main Street bizneslari urushga keskin qarshi edilar va tinchlikni talab qildilar, chunki potentsial uzoq va qimmat urushning noaniqliklari to'liq iqtisodiy tiklanish uchun jiddiy xavf tug'dirdi. The leading railroad magazine editorialized, "from a commercial and mercenary standpoint it seems peculiarly bitter that this war should come when the country had already suffered so much and so needed rest and peace." The strong anti-war consensus of the business community strengthened McKinley's resolve to use diplomacy and negotiation rather than brute force to end the Spanish tyranny in Cuba.^[102] On the other hand, humanitarian sensibilities reached fever pitch as church leaders and activists wrote hundreds of thousands of letters to political leaders, calling for intervention in Cuba. These political leaders in turn pressured McKinley to turn the ultimate decision for war over to Congress.^[103]

In January 1898, Spain promised some concessions to the rebels, but when American konsul Fitsxu Li reported riots in Gavana, McKinley obtained Spanish permission to send the battleship USS Meyn to Havana to demonstrate American concern.^[104] On February 15, the Meyn exploded and sank with 266 men killed.^[105] Public opinion was disgusted with Spain for losing control of the situation, but McKinley insisted that a tergov sudi determine whether the explosion of the Meyn tasodifiy edi.^[106] Negotiations with Spain continued as the court of inquiry considered the evidence, but on March 20, the court ruled that the Meyn was blown up by an suv osti koni.^[107] As pressure for war mounted in Congress, McKinley continued to negotiate for Cuban independence.^[108] Spain refused McKinley's proposals, and on April 11, McKinley turned the matter over to Congress. He did not ask for war, but Congress declared war anyway on April 20, with the addition of the Tellerga o'zgartirish, which disavowed any intention of annexing Cuba.^[109] European powers called on Spain to negotiate and give in; Britain supported the American position.^[110] Spain ignored the calls and fought the hopeless war alone in order to defend its honor and keep the monarchy alive.^[111]

Historical interpretations of McKinley's role

McKinley put it succinctly in late 1897 that if Spain failed to resolve its crisis, the United States would see “a duty imposed by our obligations to ourselves, to civilization and humanity to intervene with force."^[112] Most historians argue that an upsurge of humanitarian concern with the plight of the Cubans was the main motivating force that caused the war with Spain in 1898.^[113] Louis Perez states, "Certainly the moralistic determinants of war in 1898 has been accorded preponderant explanatory weight in the historiography."^[114] By the 1950s, however, some political scientists said that policy was unwise because it was based on idealism, arguing that a better policy would have been realism in terms of American self interest. They discredited the idealism by suggesting the people were deliberately misled by propaganda and sensationalist sariq jurnalistika. Political scientist Robert Osgood, writing in 1953, led the attack on the American decision process as a confused mix of "self-righteousness and genuine moral fervor," in the form of a "crusade" and a combination of "knight-errantry and national self- assertiveness."^[115] Osgood argued:

A war to free Cuba from Spanish despotism, corruption, and cruelty, from the filth and disease and barbarity of General 'Butcher' Weyler's reconcentration camps, from the devastation of haciendas, the extermination of families, and the outraging of women; that would be a blow for humanity and democracy.... No one could doubt it if he believed – and skepticism was not popular – the exaggerations of the Cuban Junta’s propaganda and the lurid distortions and imaginative lies pervade by the “yellow sheets” of Hearst and Pulitzer at the combined rate of 2 million [newspaper copies] a day.^[116]

For much of the 20th century historians and textbooks disparaged McKinley as a weak leader—echoing Roosevelt, who called him spineless. They blamed McKinley for losing control of foreign policy and agreeing to an unnecessary war. A wave of new scholarship in the 1970s, from both right and left, reversed the older interpretation.^[117] Robert L. Beisner summed up the new views of McKinley as a strong leader. He said McKinley called for war—not because he was bellicose, but because he wanted:

what only war could bring—an end to the Cuban rebellion, which outraged his humanitarian impulses, prolonged instability in the economy, destroyed American investments and trade with Cuba, created a dangerous picture of an America unable to master the affairs of the Caribbean, threatened to arouse uncontrollable outburst of jingoism, and diverted the attention of U.S. policymakers from historic happenings in China. Neither spineless nor bellicose, McKinley demanded what seemed to him morally unavoidable and essential to American interests.^[118]

Along similar lines Joseph Fry summarizes the new scholarly appraisals:

McKinley was a decent, sensitive man with considerable personal courage and great political facility. A master manager of men, he tightly controlled policy decisions within his administration....Fully cognizant of the United States' economic, strategic, and humanitarian interests, he had laid out a "policy" early in his administration that ultimately and logically led to war. If Spain could not quell the rebellion through "civilized" warfare, the United States would have to intervene. In early 1898, the Havana riots, the De Lome letter, the destruction of the Maine, and the Redfield Proctor speech convinced McKinley that the autonomy project had failed and that Spain could not defeat the rebels. He then demanded Cuban independence to end both the suffering on the island and the uncertainty in American political and economic affairs.^[119]

Urush kursi

The telegraph and the telephone gave McKinley a greater control over the day-to-day management of the war than previous presidents had enjoyed. He set up the first war room and used the new technologies to direct the army's and navy's movements.^[120] McKinley did not get along with the Army's commanding general, Nelson A. Mayls. Bypassing Miles and Secretary of War Alger, the president looked for strategic advice first from Miles's predecessor, General Jon Shofild, va undan keyin General-adyutant Henry Clarke Corbin.^[121] McKinley presided over an expansion of the Muntazam armiya from 25,000 to 61,000 personnel; including volunteers, a total of 278,000 men served in the Army during the war.^[122] McKinley not only wanted to win the war, he also sought to bring North and South together again, as white Southerners enthusiastically supported the war effort, and one senior command went to a former Confederate General. His ideal was a unity with Northerner and Southerner, white and black, fighting together for the United States.^[123][124]

Since 1895, the Navy had planned to attack the Filippinlar if war broke out between the United States and Spain. On April 24, McKinley ordered the Osiyo otryadlari Commodore buyrug'i ostida Jorj Devi to launch an attack on the Philippines. On May 1, Dewey's force defeated the Spanish navy at the Manila ko'rfazidagi jang, destroying Spanish naval power in the Pacific.^[125] The next month, McKinley increased the number of troops sent to the Philippines and granted the force's commander, Major General Uesli Merritt, the power to set up legal systems and raise taxes—necessities for a long occupation.^[126] By the time the troops arrived in the Philippines at the end of June 1898, McKinley had decided that Spain would be required to surrender the archipelago to the United States. He professed to be open to all views on the subject; however, he believed that as the war progressed, the public would come to demand retention of the islands as a prize of war, and he feared that Yaponiya yoki ehtimol Germaniya might seize the islands.^[127]

Meanwhile, in the Caribbean theater, a large force of regulars and volunteers gathered near Tampa, Florida, for an invasion of Cuba. The army faced difficulties in supplying the rapidly expanding force even before they departed for Cuba, but by June, Corbin had made progress in resolving the problems.^[128] The U.S. Navy began a blockade of Cuba in April while the Army prepared to invade the island, on which Spain maintained a garrison of approximately 80,000.^[129] Disease was a major factor: for every American soldier killed in combat in 1898, seven died of disease. The U.S. Army Medical Corps made great strides in treating tropical diseases.^[130] There were lengthy delays in Florida—Colonel William Jennings Bryan spent the entire war there as his militia unit was never sent to combat.^[131]

"Well, I hardly know which to take first!" exclaims Uncle Sam in this May 18, 1898, editorial cartoon celebrating the spoils of victory.

The combat army, led by Major General Uilyam Rufus Shftr, sailed from Florida on June 20, landing near Santyago-de-Kuba ikki kundan keyin. Following a skirmish at Las-Gasimas on June 24, Shafter's army engaged the Spanish forces on July 2 in the San-Xuan tepasidagi jang.^[132] In an intense day-long battle, the American force was victorious, although both sides suffered heavy casualties.^[133] Leonard Vud and Theodore Roosevelt, who had resigned as assistant secretary of the Navy, led the "Qo'pol chavandozlar " into combat. Roosevelt's battlefield exploits would later propel him to the governorship of New York in the fall election of 1898.^[134] After the American victory at San Juan Hill, the Spanish Caribbean squadron, which had been sheltering in Santiago's harbor, broke for the open sea. The Spanish fleet was intercepted and destroyed by Rear Admiral Uilyam T. Sampson 's North Atlantic Squadron in the Santyago-de-Kuba jangi, urushning eng katta dengiz jangi.^[135] Shafter laid siege to the city of Santiago, which surrendered on July 17, placing Cuba under effective American control.^[136] McKinley and Miles also ordered an invasion of Puerto-Riko, which met little resistance when it landed in July.^[136] The distance from Spain and the destruction of the Spanish navy made resupply impossible, and the Spanish government—its honor intact after losing to a much more powerful army and navy—began to look for a way to end the war.^[137]

Tinchlik shartnomasi

Imzosi Parij shartnomasi

On July 22, the Spanish authorized Jyul Kambon, the French Ambassador to the United States, to represent Spain in negotiating peace.^[138] The Spanish initially wished to restrict their territorial loss to Cuba, but were quickly forced to recognize that their other possessions would be claimed as spoils of war.^[137] McKinley's Cabinet unanimously agreed that Spain must leave Cuba and Puerto Rico, but they disagreed on the Philippines, with some wishing to annex the entire archipelago and some wishing only to retain a naval base in the area. Although public sentiment mostly favored annexation of the Philippines, prominent Democrats like Bryan and Grover Cleveland, along with some intellectuals and older Republicans, opposed annexation. These annexation opponents formed the Amerika Anti-Imperialist Ligasi.^[139] McKinley ultimately decided he had no choice but to annex the Philippines, because he believed Japan would take control of them if the U.S. did not.^[140]

McKinley proposed to open negotiations with Spain on the basis of Cuban liberation and Puerto Rican annexation, with the final status of the Philippines subject to further discussion.^[141] He stood firmly in that demand even as the military situation on Cuba began to deteriorate when the American army was struck with sariq isitma.^[141] Spain ultimately agreed to a ceasefire on those terms on August 12, and treaty negotiations began in Paris in September 1898.^[142] The talks continued until December 18, when the Parij shartnomasi imzolandi. The United States acquired Puerto Rico and the Philippines as well as the island of Guam, and Spain relinquished its claims to Cuba; in exchange, the United States agreed to pay Spain $20 million.^[143] McKinley had difficulty convincing the Senate to approve the treaty by the requisite two-thirds vote, but his lobbying, and that of Vice President Hobart, eventually saw success, as the Senate voted to ratify the treaty on February 6, 1899 on a 57 to 27 vote.^[144] Though a significant bloc of senators opposed the treaty, they were unable to unite behind an alternative to ratification.^[145] Cuba came under temporary American occupation, which gave Army doctors under Uolter Rid the chance to implement major medical reforms and eliminate yellow fever.^[146][147]

The new American empire

Cuba was devastated from the war and from the long insurrection against Spanish rule, and McKinley refused to recognize the Cuban rebels as the official government of the island.^[148] Nonetheless, McKinley felt bound by the Teller Amendment, and he established a military government on the island with the intention of ultimately granting Cuba independence. Many Republican leaders, including Roosevelt and possibly McKinley himself, hoped that benevolent American leadership of Cuba would eventually convince the Cubans to voluntarily request annexation after they gained full independence. Even if annexation was not achieved, McKinley wanted to help establish a stable government that could resist European interference and would remain friendly to U.S. interests.^[149] With input from the McKinley administration, Congress passed the Plattga o'zgartirishlar kiritish, which stipulated conditions for U.S. withdrawal from the island; the conditions allowed for a strong American role despite the promise of withdrawal. Cuba became independent in 1902, but the U.S. would qayta egallash the island in 1906.^[150]

McKinley also refused to recognize the native Filipino government of Emilio Aguinaldo, and relations between the United States and the Aguinaldo's supporters deteriorated after the conclusion of the Spanish–American War.^[151] McKinley believed that Aguinaldo represented just a small minority of the Filipino populace, and that benevolent American rule would lead to a peaceful occupation.^[152] In February 1899, Filipino and American forces clashed at the Manila jangi, boshlanishini belgilab qo'ying Filippin-Amerika urushi.^[153] The fighting in the Philippines engendered increasingly vocal criticism from the domestic anti-imperialist movement, as did the continued deployment of volunteer regiments.^[154] General ostida Elvel Stiven Otis, U.S. forces destroyed the rebel Filipino army, but Aguinaldo turned to partizan taktika.^[155] McKinley sent a komissiya boshchiligidagi Uilyam Xovard Taft to establish a civilian government, and McKinley later appointed Taft as the civilian governor of the Philippines.^[156] The Filipino insurgency subsided with the capture of Aguinaldo in March 1901, and the U.S. maintained control of the islands until the 1946 Manila shartnomasi.^[157]

After Puerto Rico was devastated by the massive 1899 yil San-Siriako bo'roni, Secretary of War Root proposed to eliminate all tariff barriers with Puerto Rico. His proposal initiated a serious disagreement between the McKinley administration and Republican leaders in Congress, who were wary of lowering the tariffs on the newly-acquired territories. Rather than relying on Democratic votes to pass a no-tariff bill, McKinley compromised with Republican leaders on a bill that cut tariffs on Puerto Rican goods to a fraction of the rates set by the Dingley Tariff. While considering the tariff bill, the Senate also began hearings on a bill to establish a civil government for Puerto Rico, which the Senate passed in a party-line vote. McKinley signed the Foraker qonuni into law on April 12, 1900. Under the terms of the bill, all revenue collected from the tariff on Puerto Rican goods would be used for Puerto Rico, and the tariff would cease to function once the government of Puerto Rico established its own taxation system.^[158] 1901 yilda Ichki ishlar, the Supreme Court upheld the McKinley administration's policies in the territories acquired in the Spanish–American War, including the establishment of Puerto Rico's government.^[159]

Xitoy

Even before peace negotiations began with Spain, McKinley asked Congress to set up a commission to examine trade opportunities in Asia and espoused an "Ochiq eshik siyosati ", in which all nations would freely trade with China and none would seek to violate that nation's territorial integrity.^[160] Secretary of State Hay circulated notes promoting the Open Door to that effect to the European powers. Great Britain favored the idea, but Russia opposed it; France, Germany, Italy and Japan agreed in principle, but only if all the other nations signed on.^[161]

American missionaries were threatened and trade with China became imperiled as the Bokschining isyoni of 1900 menaced foreigners and their property in China.^[162] Americans and other westerners in Pekin were besieged and, in cooperation with other western powers, McKinley ordered 5000 troops to the city in June 1900 in the Xitoyga yordam ekspeditsiyasi.^[163] The westerners were rescued the next month, but several Congressional Democrats objected to McKinley dispatching troops without consulting Congress.^[164] McKinley's actions set a precedent that led to most of his successors exerting similar independent control over the military.^[163] After the rebellion ended, the United States reaffirmed its commitment to the Open Door policy, which became the basis of American policy toward China.^[165] It used the cash reparations paid by China to bring Chinese students to Americans schools.^[166]

Planning the Panama Canal

Secretary of State Hay engaged in negotiations with Britain over the possible construction of a canal across Central America. The Kleyton-Bulver shartnomasi, which the two nations had signed in 1850, prohibited either from establishing exclusive control over a canal there. The Spanish–American War had exposed the difficulty of maintaining a two-ocean navy without a connection closer than Burun burni, at the southern tip of South America.^[167] With American business, humanitarian and military interests even more involved in Asia following the Spanish–American War, a canal seemed more essential than ever, and McKinley pressed for a renegotiation of the treaty.^[167] The British, who were distracted by the ongoing Ikkinchi Boer urushi, agreed to negotiate a new treaty.^[168] Hay and the British ambassador, Julian Paunfote, agreed that the United States could control a future canal, provided that it was open to all shipping and not fortified. McKinley was satisfied with the terms, but the Senate rejected them, demanding that the United States be allowed to fortify the canal. Hay was embarrassed by the rebuff and offered his resignation, but McKinley refused it and ordered him to continue negotiations to achieve the Senate's demands. He was successful, and yangi shartnoma was drafted and approved, but not before McKinley's assassination in 1901.^[169] McKinley also appointed the Istmiya kanal komissiyasi, which would eventually play a large role in selecting Panama ustida Nikaragua as the site of the Central American canal.^[170] The Panama kanali would eventually be completed in 1914.^[171]

1900 yilgi saylov

McKinley ran on his record of prosperity and victory in 1900, defeating Bryan qulay marj bilan.

Republicans were generally successful in state and local elections around the country in 1899, making McKinley optimistic about his chances at re-election heading into 1900.^[172] With McKinley widely popular in the Republican Party, his renomination at the 1900 respublika milliy konvensiyasi was assured, but the identity of his running mate was unclear due to the death of Vice President Hobart in 1899.^[173] The president personally favored Secretary of War Elihu Root or former Secretary of the Interior Cornelius Newton Bliss for the position, while Governor Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary of the Navy John Long, Set Lou, Elchi Endryu Dikson Uayt, Senator William Allison, and Congressman Jonathan P. Dolliver of Iowa also stood out as potential running mates.^[174]

When the convention began in Filadelfiya in June 1900, none of the potential running mates had overwhelming support, but Roosevelt had the broadest range of support from around the country.^[175] McKinley remained uncommitted in public, but Hanna was firmly opposed to the New York governor.^[176] Hanna's stance was undermined by the efforts of siyosiy boshliq and New York Senator Tomas Platt, who, disliking Roosevelt's reform agenda, sought to sideline the governor by making him vice president.^[177] On June 21, McKinley was unanimously renominated and, with Hanna's reluctant acquiescence, Roosevelt was nominated for vice president on the first ballot.^[178] The Demokratik qurultoy convened the next month in Kanzas-Siti and nominated William Jennings Bryan, setting up a rematch of the 1896 contest.^[179]

1900 electoral vote results.

The candidates were the same, but the issues of the campaign had shifted: free silver was still a question that animated many voters, but the Republicans focused on victory in war and prosperity at home as issues they believed favored their party.^[180] Democrats knew the war had been popular, even if the imperialism issue was less sure, so they focused on the issue of trusts and corporate power, painting McKinley as the servant of capital and big business.^[181] As in 1896, Bryan embarked on a speaking tour around the country while McKinley stayed at home.^[182] Bryan's campaign to unseat McKinley faced several challenges, including the general prosperity of the country and factionalism within the Democratic Party.^[183] Roosevelt emerged as the Republican campaign's primary speaker and Hanna helped the cause by settling a coal miners' strike in Pennsylvania.^[184]

Bryan's campaigning failed to excite the voters as it had in 1896, and observers expected McKinley to be re-elected easily.^[185] On November 6, 1900, McKinley won the largest victory for any Republican since 1872.^[186] Bryan carried only four states outside the Qattiq janubiy, and even lost his home state of Nebraska. The reasons for the turnabout in Nebraska included prosperity, the collapse of the Populistlar partiyasi, the intensive Republican campaign in the state, and Bryan's neglect of his base.^[187] Nationwide, turnout fell from 78.3 percent to 71.6 percent. In the concurrent congressional elections, Republicans kept control of both houses of Congress.^[188]

Artist's conception of the shooting of McKinley

The president's personal secretary, George Cortelyou, became concerned with the president's security after several assassinations by anarchists in Europe, including the assassination of King Italiyalik Umberto I in 1900. Cortelyou twice tried to remove a public reception from the president's visit to the Panamerika ko'rgazmasi yilda Buffalo, Nyu-York in September 1901, but McKinley refused to cancel the appearance, as he enjoyed meeting with the public.^[189] On September 5, the president delivered his address at the Pan-American Exposition before a crowd of some 50,000 people. In the speech, which indicated McKinley's second term plans, the president urged reciprocity treaties with other nations to assure American manufacturers access to foreign markets.^[190][191] After the speech, McKinley shook hands with a long line of visitors, which included anarchist Leon Czolgosz. Inspired by a speech delivered by Emma Goldman, Czolgosz had come to the exposition with the intention of assassinating McKinley. Czolgosz concealed a gun in his handkerchief, and, when he reached the head of the line, shot McKinley twice in the abdomen.^[192] McKinley was taken to the exposition aid station, where the doctor was unable to locate the second bullet.^[193]

In the days after the shooting McKinley appeared to improve, and doctors issued increasingly optimistic bulletins. Members of the Cabinet, who had rushed to Buffalo on hearing the news, dispersed; Vice President Roosevelt departed on a camping trip to the Adirondacks.^[194] However, unknown to the doctors, the gangrena that would kill McKinley was growing on the walls of his stomach, slowly poisoning his blood. On the morning of September 13, McKinley took a turn for the worse, and at 2:15 a.m. on September 14, President McKinley died. Theodore Roosevelt had rushed back and took the oath of office as president in Buffalo. Czolgosz, put on trial for murder nine days after McKinley's death, was found guilty, sentenced to death on September 26, and executed by elektr stul on October 29, 1901.^[195]

Gould reports, "the nation experienced a wave of genuine grief at the news of McKinley's passing."^[196] The stock market, faced with sudden uncertainty, suffered a steep decline—almost unnoticed in the mourning. The nation focused its attention on the casket that made its way by train, first to Washington, where it davlatda yotish in the Capitol, and then to McKinley's hometown of Canton.^[197] A hundred thousand people passed by the open casket in the Kapitoliy Rotunda, many having waited hours in the rain; in Canton, an equal number did the same at the Stark County Courthouse on September 18. The following day, a funeral service was held at the First Methodist Church; the casket was then sealed and taken to the McKinley house, where relatives paid their final respects.^[198] It was then transported to the receiving vault at G'arbiy maysazor qabristoni in Canton, to await the construction of the memorial to McKinley that was already being planned.^[199]

Tarixiy obro'-e'tibor

McKinley's biographer, H. Wayne Morgan remarks that McKinley died the most beloved president in history.^[200] However, the young, enthusiastic Roosevelt quickly captured public attention after his predecessor's death. The new president made little effort to secure the trade reciprocity McKinley had intended to negotiate with other nations. Controversy and public interest surrounded Roosevelt throughout the seven and a half years of his presidency as memories of McKinley faded; by 1920, according to Gould, McKinley's administration was deemed no more than "a mediocre prelude to the vigor and energy of Theodore Roosevelt's".^[196] Beginning in the 1950s, McKinley received more favorable evaluations; nevertheless, in surveys ranking American presidents, he has generally been placed near the middle, often trailing contemporaries such as Hayes and Cleveland.^[196] 2018 yilgi so'rovnoma Amerika siyosiy fanlar assotsiatsiyasi ’s Presidents and Executive Politics section ranked McKinley as the 22nd best president,^[201] while a 2017 C-oralig'i poll of historians ranked McKinley as the 16th best president.^[202] Morgan suggests that this relatively low ranking is due to a perception among historians that while many decisions during McKinley's presidency profoundly affected the nation's future, he more followed public opinion than led it, and that McKinley's standing has suffered from altered public expectations of the presidency.^[203]

There has been broad agreement among historians that McKinley's election was at the time of a transition between two political eras, dubbed the Uchinchidan va Fourth Party Systems.^[204] Kenneth F. Warren emphasizes the national commitment to a pro-business, industrial, and modernizing program, represented by McKinley.^[205] Historian Daniel P. Klinghard argued that McKinley's personal control of the 1896 campaign gave him the opportunity to reshape the presidency—rather than simply follow the party platform—by representing himself as the voice of the people.^[3] However, more recently, as Republican political official Karl Rove exalted McKinley as the agent of sweeping political realignment in the 2000s, some scholars, such as David Mayhew, questioned whether the 1896 election truly represented a realignment, thereby placing in issue whether McKinley deserves credit for it.^[206] Historian Michael J. Korzi argued in 2005 that while it is tempting to see McKinley as the key figure in the transition from congressional domination of government to the modern, powerful president, this change was an incremental process through the late 19th and early 20th centuries.^[207]

A controversial aspect of McKinley's presidency is territorial expansion and the question of imperialism. The U.S. set Cuba free and granted independence to the Philippines in 1946. Puerto Rico remains in an ambiguous status. Hawaii is a state; Guam remains a territory. The territorial expansion of 1898 was the high water mark of Amerika imperializmi.^[208] Morgan sees that historical discussion as a subset of the debate over the rise of America as a world power; he expects the debate over McKinley's actions to continue indefinitely without resolution, and argues that however one judges McKinley's actions in American expansion, one of his motivations was to change the lives of Filipinos and Cubans for the better.^[209]
