Benjamin Harrison had a reputation for personal and professional integrity that remained intact even after efforts were made by the opposition party to sully his reputation.
He attempted to secure the enforcement of African American voting rights, though he was largely unsuccessful in this endeavor. He presided over a healthy economy and enacted the McKinley Tariff Act, which added additional protections for domestic industries and significantly increased federal revenues. This led to an increase in domestic spending, topping one-billion dollars for the first time in US history.
Benjamin Harrison also enacted the Sherman Antitrust Act, which was used to break up monopolies and prevent emerging monopolies from forming. It was also used by some politicians to combat union organizing and punish strikes and boycotts. Harrison also established national forest reserves and strengthened the US Navy.
