Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd U.S. President, served from 1889 to 1893. As a moderate Republican, he secured an electoral majority but lost the popular vote to Democrat Grover Cleveland. Harrison’s most notable achievement was enacting the Sherman Antitrust Act, which aimed to curb the influence of large corporations. Additionally, he contributed to the establishment of national forest reservations and the Bureau of Immigration. As the last Civil War general to hold the presidential office, Harrison conducted one of the earliest “front-porch” campaigns.
