Grant deserves to be recognized as an Illinoisan. Wink
If liberals knew about his conservative position on the gold standard, and that he signed the Comstock Act, they probably wouldn't like him as much.

Huh The equal rights amendments are more important than the gold standard.

McKinley, and although I think he was a decent president, I admire him more as a person than as a politician.

I thought Grant counted among Presidents from Illinois, but according to the wiki, his home state, while running for President, was indeed Ohio.

Tough choice between McKinley and Harding. Whilst I'm not too keen on McKinley's violation of Spain's imperial holdings in Cuba, his generally sound domestic policy and character puts him ahead of Harding, whose general immorality I find rather distasteful.

Not to apologize for the U.S. taking Cuba from Spain here, but what "right" did Spain have to control and oppress the people of Cuba?

Not to apologize for the U.S. taking Cuba from Spain here, but what "right" did Spain have to control and oppress the people of Cuba?

By simple virtue of the fact that Cuba had been an integral part of the Spanish Empire for centuries, and was a source of both economic and military (twas a good place to use to train troops) benefits for the Spanish state. Not that, neccessarily, I fault McKinley's reasoning for doing what he did, in the interests of the United States, but nevertheless, I feel that it was fairly unneccessary for Spain to lose Cuba, given that it's loss did some pretty grievous political damage to the Spanish state and monarchy. As for the oppression, well, it is undeniable. Nevertheless, such repression was a legitimate response to the bad behaviour of the Cuban populace, so I cannot fault the Spanish for that.

That is true of the 1868 election, however, in 1872, his home state was Illinois.
