 * What I learned:**

==== William McKinley was born January 29, 1843 in Niles, Ohio. He is the seventh child of William and Nancy McKinley. His religion is Methodist. McKinley attended Allegheny College and taught in a country school when the Civil War had broke out. He began practicing in Canton Ohio and studied law. William McKinley married Ida Saxton, who was the daughter of local banker. The two married January 25, 1871. They had two daughters, Katherine McKinley born in 1871, and Ida McKinley born in 1873. At the age of thirty-four McKinley won a seat in Congress, and it was thanks to his attractive personality, great character, and quick intelligence. ====

==== It was during his 14 years in the House where he became the leading Republican tariff expert in 1890. The year after that he was elected Governor of Ohio, serving two terms. The depression of 1893 had almost run its course and with it the extreme agitation over silver. This was going on when McKinley became President. He was nominated as a Republican candidate for president with the assistance of Mark Hanna who was a wealthy industrialist. McKinley favored maintaining currency by using the gold standard, opening the way to passage of the Gold Standard Act of 1900. In 1888, as a member of Congress, his views for protective tariff were unequivocal. He sponsored a protective tariff in 1890 that bears his name. McKinley favored mediation between capital and labor, often favoring the poor. ====

====The major events that happened while he was in office were; Spanish-American War (1898), Annexation of Hawaii (1898), Open Door Policy/Boxer Rebellion (1899-1900), and Gold Standard Act (1900). McKinley unveiled a new, broader way for an internationally minded America, following the Spanish-American War. This was to become his last speech for on the following day, he was mortally wounded from an assassin’s bullet. His second term, which began auspiciously, came to a tragic end in September 1901. McKinley was standing in a receiving line at the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition when a deranged anarchist shot him twice and he died eight days later. McKinley died at the age of 58. His assassin was Leon F. Czolgosz. ====


====From this research I have learned about his background. Also I learned about his personality and his term in office. I also learned about his life in the House where he had become the leading Rupublican tariff expert. The information I found informed me of events that happended while he was in office and about how he was assassined and where. McKinley was very much loved by people and by followers. He is one to go down in history and I enjoyed researching him. ====

Sigmund Freud Sigmund Freud was born with the name Sigismund Schlomo Freud. He was born on May 6, 1856 and rested into peace September 23, 1939. I think it is neat how he went into studying neurology. Neurology is a medical specialty dealing with disorders of the nervous system. It mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all categories of disease involving the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems. So that made him a neurologist which is a physician who specializes in neurology, and is trained to investigate, or diagnose and treat neurological disorders. I like the fact that he went into this field. This gave him the intelligence to further his discoveries and his researches. What really stood out to me was that he also was an early neurological researcher into cerebral palsy. I think it is a very interesting disability to study and do know more about and maybe ever try and prevent.
