Campaining & major issues
During his tenure, Grover Cleveland had a solid first term. The economy remained strong for the most part, and at first
it looked like Republicans would have a hard time taking Cleveland down. That was until 1887 where Cleveland himself made a certain
subject a big issue: tariffs. Tariffs are taxes on foreign goods imported into a country. At the time, tariffs were quite high and Cleveland said that they needed to be lowered.
However, he received incredible backlash for this, though, and it set the stage for the election.
