Benjamin Harrison was known as the 23rd US President. His administration began in 1889 and ended in 1893. Harrison was a Republican and Indiana origin. During his presidency, the son of The 9th President of The United States, William Harrison seemed to be unpopular for his infamous economic policy, McKinley Tariff, which led to the mass depression, the Panic of 1893. Such policy played a crucial role in increasing the average cost of living in USA.

However, Harrison also left the notable legacy. Here are some of them:

• Giving protection to Afro-American citizens's voting rights.
• Supporting American expansion abroad with more dominant role in Western Hemisphere.
• Modernizing US Navy.
• Controlling US commerce, especially towards monopoly and the power of trust by imposing Sherman Antitrust Act.
• Creating national forest reserves through Land Revision Act of 1891.

Pembahasan

Benjamin Harrison adalah Presiden AS yang ke 23. Ia bertugas di Gedung Putih hanya satu periode saja (1889-1893). Masa pemerintahannya lebih banyak dikenal dengan kebijakan ekonominya yang negatif lewat McKinley Tariff yang meningkatkan rerata biaya hidup di AS saat itu sehingga dianggap bertanggung jawab atas terjadinya gelombang depresi masal yang dikenal dengan istilah the Panic of 1893.

Hal itu, sayangnya, menutupi sejumlah kontribusi positif dari mantan pengacara tersebut. Presiden Harrison ikut berjasa dalam kebijakan luar negeri AS untuk meningkatkan peran globalnya di dunia barat, memperbaiki kualitas Angkatan Laut AS, memberi proteksi terhadap hak-hak pilih masyarakat Afro America dan menciptakan area hutan lindung.
