Meant well in many matters but kind of useless. McKinley tariff was horrendous garbage, waffled on the currency issue, failed to secure civil rights although he tried in vain, had a well-meaning but tragically flawed approach to the Natives (wounded Knee occurred under his tenure) and fought for vets.

Three stars.

Good: expanded Civil War veterans pensions, Sherman Anti-Trust Act, Sherman Silver Purchase Act, well-meaning (but ultimately ineffective) civil rights initiatives, land conservation
Bad: Imperialist nutjob, protectionism, Wounded Knee Massacre

I'll give him 3 stars

An utterly mediocre party hack. One of the most inconsequential Presidents. Two stars.

2 stars. The only good thing about his presidency was an attempt to protect civil rights of black Americans.

Mediocre, entirely inconsequential, doesn't get more average than this. 3 stars.

The president who made Grover Cleveland look appealing to laborers?

2 Stars, and that's only because of the Civil Rights thing.

His free silver policies were a factor in the Panic of 1893, but he did do some good.  3 stars at most.
