One thing that stands out to me about Benjamin Harrison is the number of states he admitted into the union during his presidency. It caught my attention because I grew up in the Midwest area. He admitted the following states:
North Dakota
South Dakota
Montana
Washington
Idaho
Wyoming
What would our country be without these states? Fargo? Mount Rushmore? Idaho potatoes? Fantastic northern hunting and fishing? Tillamook dairy products? Boeing? All of that and more exists thanks to those states.
I am grateful for Benjamin Harrison.
