Legacy+and+Importance

== William McKinley was one of the most important presidents in the course of American history. He led the nation through the Spanish-American War in such little time and effort. It was "a splendid little war" as his Secretary of State John Jay called it. He helped expand the US through its imperial phase with ease. Finally he had created new foreign policy allowing the US to have a sphere of influence within China increasing the nation's economy. ==
