Benjamin Harrison's domestic policy focused on several key areas, including economic reform, civil rights, and infrastructure development. He supported the McKinley Tariff, which raised protective tariffs to benefit American industries, and advocated for the Sherman Antitrust Act to combat monopolies. Harrison also pushed for the enforcement of civil rights laws, particularly in the South, and promoted infrastructure projects like the expansion of the U.S. Navy and improvements in transportation. His administration, however, faced challenges such as economic depression and political division, which limited the effectiveness of his policies.
