The 23rd President The 23rd president of the United States of America, Benjamin Harrison, is one of America's least known presidents. Harrison was the grandson of the 9th president of the United States, William Henry Harrison. Benjamin Harrison was president from 1889-1893. Harrison was a prominent lawyer, church leader, and politician in Indianapolis, Indiana, who also served in the Civil War as a Union Army colonel. By 1876, he had unsuccessfully run for governor of Indiana, but was later elected by the Indiana General Assembly to a six-year term in the US Senate.
After leaving the Senate, in 1888, Harrison, a Republican, ran against the Democratic incumbent Grover Cleveland for president. Harrison's administration's initiatives included pioneering economic legislation, the creation of national forest reserves, and protective trade rates. Furthermore, Harrison was responsible for strengthening and modernizing the US Navy, veterans' benefits, and foreign policy.
Harrison's career prior to his presidency was also highly successful, although he had experienced minor defeats. His presidency was no exception. Harrison faced challenges including being criticized for his decision-making style and his slow pace. Even though Harrison's proposals for federal education funding and voting rights for African Americans were unsuccessful, these defeats did not overshadow his triumphs in economic policy.
