The “Full Dinner Pail” was a popular political image during the McKinley/Roosevelt campaigns. Here’s one of my favorite depictions of it, along with William Jennings Bryan getting crushed underneath:
When I was a kid my Mother took us to Dayton, TN to visit family. We got to visit the William Jennings Bryan College. I had seen the movie “Inherit the Wind” and was expecting something quite different.
I was just poking around their website. Their biology department offers a “Dinosaurs & Catastrophes” course which sounds like it would be fun to audit.
There is a very nice memorial to McKinley at the Antietam Battlefield, not far from the Burnside Bridge. Union Soldiers had been pinned down all day and were hungry and thirsty. McKinley risked his life to get rations to the Soldiers in combat. He was later given a battlefield commission to 2LT for this action. He ended the war as a Major serving on a general’s staff as the adjutant.

Oddly enough I read it as you intended not as it is written. I only noticed once you pointed it out.

McKinley’s definition of Civilization didn’t include freedom for the Filipinos or Cubans, not so strangely enough.
