“This land [of South America] is very pleasing, full of an infinite number of very tall trees which never lose their leaves and

throughout the year are fragrant with the sweetest aromas and yield an endless supply of fruits, many of which are good to taste and conducive to bodily health. The fields produce many herbs and flowers and most delicious and wholesome roots that I fancied myself near the Terrestrial Paradise. What shall we say of the multitude of birds and their plumes and colours and singing and their numbers and their beauty? I am unwilling to enlarge upon this description, because I doubt if I would be believed. . . . We saw so many . . . animals that I believe so many species could not have entered Noah’s ark. We saw many wild hogs, wild goats, stags and does, hares, and rabbits, but of domestic animals, not one.”

Who was the 25 president of the United States ?
artcher [175]

Answer: William McKinley

Explanation: William McKinley was born in 1843. He became the 25th U.S. president and he was the last Civil War veteran to become president. William worked to make the United states a strong world power.

In 1896 he became the president of the United States. He led the country to win the Spanish-American War which was one of the shorter wars fought in history between the United States of America and Spain in 1896. William also created a way of protecting people's money.

He was a very successful president and he made trade agreements with other countries. Sadly he was assassinated when Leon Czolgosz fired two shots in his torso.

In the image provided, I have attached a campaign poster from 1990.
