The beginning of the United States as world power had its origins during the presidency of William McKinley. The powerful European nations considered America an inconsequential nation, but that opinion was quickly reversed when the United States defeated Spain in 1898. The victory also brought several overseas territories under American control and overnight we were a world power. William McKinley signed this document appointing a customs collector in San Diego during that transitional year of 1898. The appointment document has been matted alongside a print of a painted portrait of the 25th president with an engraved plaque listing his career achievements. The complete framed display measures 29.5” x 41.5” and comes with a LOA from PSA/DNA.
