American businessman and politician Marcus Alonzo Hanna, known as the "money manipulator," made a fortune in the coal and iron firm of M.A. Hanna & Company. Convinced that business and government were interdependent, he became actively involved in the process of electing public officials. A master strategist, Hanna successfully promoted Republican William McKinley's candidacy for President in 1896 at great personal expense, and his reelection in 1900, raising unprecedented sums of money for campaign funds.
