The clashes between William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan
during the 1896 and 1900 presidential elections changed the course
of American politics. Prior to Bryan's candidacy, the Democratic
Party was slightly more conservative than the Republican Party. At
the 1896 Democratic National Convention, Bryan's dramatic "Cross of
Gold" speech stampeded the delegates left-of-center--a position the
party has traditionally held since. Most Americans, though,
rejected this new wave, remained conservative and twice elected
McKinley. These were dramatic years for the country as it continued
its rise to become a major world economic and military.
Significantly, freedom increased for those now within the American
orbit.
