Before Teddy Roosevelt stole the spotlight, William McKinley rewrote the rules. From the blood-soaked fields of Antietam to the annexation of Hawaii and the tariff wars that upended global trade, McKinley quietly transformed the U.S. into a rising world power. Yet today, he's remembered mostly for how he died, not for what he built.

I have one small nitpick over the 1876 Presidential election. While technically correct that Hayes & Republicans agreed to end Reconstruction to keep the White House, if the Democrat Samuel Tilden had won then Reconstruction would have ended anyways. The Democrats won control of the House of Representatives in the 1874 midterms signaling that the end of Reconstruction was imminent and they retained control of the House in 1876. Also the U.S. economy was in a recession and the expenditures of Reconstruction as well as the policy in general was no longer a priority for the majority of the Northern public. So while I understand needing to be concise, Reconstruction was over the moment there was controversy on who won the Presidency. And if Hayes had won without controversy, unless the Republicans retook the House in 1878 then Reconstruction had at most two more years and that might be generous.

When do you plan to release part 2?
