The Election of 1896

The election of 1896 was in fact a turning point in American political history. The election led to the end of two highly important political debates of the 19th century. Since the election of 1800, the matter of whether the nation should be governed on industrial interests or argarian interests had been a major factor. Also, since the gold standard had become effective in 1873 America had been divided on the issue of silver as a legal currency. The victory of William McKinley helped led to the end of argarian interests in American politics as well as the end of the political debate over American currency. With both of these highly debated political matters being put to an end, American politics changed greatly. Since the election of 1800, nearly every presidential election presented an electorate whose platform was based off of argarian politics, and relied on argarian voters. After the election of 1896, this was longer the case. The country made a shift from a partially argarian nation to an urban and industrialized nation. The focus of the Republican party had went from a goal to promote economic growth to the need to maintatin and regulate industrialism. With the fall of argarianism as an opposition, the continuance of industrialism in America was not an issue. From the fall of argarianism in poilitics came the prosperity of industrialization. Since the gold standard had been issued in 1873, America was divided on the issue of the legallity of silver being a currency. With the election of William McKinley, the issue eventually came to an end. In the year 1900, The Gold Standard Act was passed and signed by William McKinley. This act committed America to the gold standard by assigning a specific value to gold, which eventually resolved the heated political debate. With the help of William McKinley and his victory in the election of 1896, the two highly debated political issues had eventually been resolved. America had become an industrialized nation with a defined currency. Without having to deal with these two topics, American politicians were able to focus on other matters. Specifically, the next president, Theodore Roosevelt was able to accomplish the building of a strong Navy, the Panama canal, and many national forests, parks, and monuments. Without the resolution of the two important matters, political progress such as Roosevelt's accomplishments may have been interrupted and delayed. The election of 1896 led to the resolution of these matters, and was therefore a turning point in American political history.
