The twenty-third president of the United States was Benjamin Harrison. He served from 1889 to 1893. Although he lost the popular vote, he had enough of the key swing states to win the electoral vote and become president. As president, he supported protective tariffs and veterans’ benefits and advocated for forest conservation and expanding the United States Navy. He also signed the Sherman Antitrust Act into law, which prohibited industrial combinations or trusts. In foreign affairs, the First International Conference of American States, which later became the Pan-American Union, first met in Washington, D.C., in 1889. He also tried to annex Hawaii at the end of his term, but when Grover Cleveland became president again, he withdrew it.
