William McKinley. 25th President of the US. Last elected veteran of the Civil War. A man who straddled the centuries. Question for him?

Here is his wikipedia entry.

President McKinley, do your legs hurt from all that straddling?

Okay, seriously, seriously... What was the civil war originally over, Mr. President? It ended up ending slavery, one of the most important changes in our country's history. Yet, I heard that the original big issue was state's rights: the north wanted to unite the country more tightly by limiting state's rights, and the south were strongly for them.

I find it interesting that today, so many Republicans are strongly pro state's rights, the same position that allowed for slavery in the first place.

Actually this is not a bad idea for a question. I don't think that anyone yet has suggested asking this of one of the post civil war Presidents. Perhaps because we know why the Civil War was fought. Still, it would be interesting to hear a view from one of them.

I would ask how he felt about being the first president to have his inauguration to be recorded with video.

I would have asked what impact he felt yellow journalism had on his decision to go to war.

I would ask him if he felt American imperialism betrayed the ideals of American democracy.

President McKinley, poor man. He was a good man by all accounts, even if not a perfect president. And although I don't personally agree with his expansionist philosophies, you did a lot of good to help America prosper and really had Americans' best interests at heart. So sad he was assassinated.

Here are my questions for him:

Why elevate Sen. Sherman to the State Department? And was he really senile? How senile are we talking? How well could he really function in his post? Honestly? It's just me and you here talkin'...

If your presidency had continued indefinitely, what other countries or territories would you have like to annex?

Should the captured Spanish colonies have been made states? Should Puerto Rico be made a state now?

Good question. Personally, I think that we should give Puerto Rico one chance and that's it. In or out? After that, we are out.
