The economy was bad at the time. In 1893 there was a point where it came close to something like the Great Depression. The reconstruction affected the country because slavery was coming to an end after the Civil War. The country was "rebuilding" itself. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/394415403 2019-10-07 13:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/394415403 Harrison did the first Front Porch Campaign.

This helped the country because it allowed the Country to be improved.  
* He signed a bill for naval expansions. This is an achievement because it allowed or navy to go farther in the world for battles.
* He signed a bill for subsides for steamship lines. This is good because it allowed more steamships to be made to explore canals and other parts of the world.]]> 2019-10-08 22:37:36 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395338051 Biggest Problems 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395553905 He tried to get Hawaii. Harrison tried to get Hawaii as a State but it didn't work. 
Harrison tried many things for Congress to pass. But Congress hardly passed anything ]]> 2019-10-09 12:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395553905 After he left office the country got Grover Cleveland. He is the only president in between the same Presidents. The panic of 1893 started after he left. This is when there was an extreme economic depression in the USA. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395565936 2019-10-09 13:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395565936 I think that Benjamin Harrison was a good President. I think he did a lot for this country and he helped improve it. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395581026 2019-10-09 13:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395581026 After Harrison left office he left the country good but immediately it went downhill. This is because there was the panic of 1893. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395582718 2019-10-09 13:36:15 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395582718 In 1893 in the USA ther was the panic of 1893. There was also the Kentucky Derby. Also Henri Desgrange made the world's first biking world record. The imperial Institute in London opens. The heavy rain washed out clay in Norway killing 111 people. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395585209 2019-10-09 13:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395585209 After Benjamin left office he didn't really do much. He died 8 years after leaving in 1901. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395592007 2019-10-09 13:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395592007 James G. Blaine was Harrison's secretary of state. He was aslo in the House of Representatives for Maine. The Blaine house in Augusta is named after him. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395594641 2019-10-09 13:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395594641 Benjamin was the first President to use electricity in the White House. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395596877 2019-10-09 13:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395596877 Comparing: 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395611177 Harrison was a lawyer and a general before he was president. Trump was only a businessman and was on tv. As president so far Harrison did more than Trump has. Harrison signed multiple bills to improve the country. Whereas I feel Trump is still a good president he has only really taken away Obama care and building the wall. Benjamin improved the navy. Also both Trump and Harrison are from the Republican party. ]]> 2019-10-09 14:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395611177 The office has changed since 1893. In the 1800s COngress was the most powerful branch. Now both branches have about equal power. Now the president gets more money. Around $400,000 a year. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395617109 2019-10-09 14:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395617109 Now Trump has created a wall to stop illegal immigrants from coming to the country. Whereas Harrison didn't do that but there was a lot less people at the time. Trump also took away a form of healthcare that wasn't really needed and at the time Harrison didn't have the option to do that. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395629947 2019-10-09 14:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/395629947 Back when Harrison was president he couldn't just decide that were going to war. Whereas now Trump could say that were going to war tomorrow. Also there used to be more power for Congress then the actual president. But now it's more or less equal. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/397607814 2019-10-14 19:56:42 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/397607814 Trump can now say when we need to war and he can take us out of war. Trump can make more laws than Harrison could because more stuff gets passed. 22naube https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/397901719 2019-10-15 13:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/22naube/i5yfiy2rjmf/wish/397901719
