Description

In this episode of The More Freedom Foundation, hosts Rob and Ruairi delve into the pivotal role of President William McKinley in shaping, and in some ways founding, the American Empire.

Drawing inspiration from the seminal works of historian William Appleman Williams, they unravel the narrative that has long credited Theodore Roosevelt as the father of America’s imperial era. Instead, they shed light on McKinley’s understated yet decisive actions that laid the groundwork for America’s global ascendancy.

Join us as we explore the untold story of a presidency that quietly set the stage for a century of American influence, challenging the conventional wisdom that has overshadowed McKinley’s true legacy.

The More Freedom Foundation is trying to save the world every week. We’re at an odd point in history. We could be on the cusp of a new Golden Age, or we could be marching down the path to World War III. Despite the picture presented by most of our media, the world really is in great shape. The world is governed by US power and a set of institutions that have largely succeeded in bringing about unparalleled peace and prosperity. The only country strong enough to tear down this Pax Americana is the US itself.
