sep 6, 1901 - President William McKinley Assassinated

Description:

President McKinley was assassinated 6 months into his second term, though it was not the bullet that killed him, rather the gangrene from his infected wound

His assassination and Garfield's assassination means that every president elected around Grover Cleveland's presidency was assassinated, other than the 21st president, but I guess that's hardly a real fact

The assassin lost his job during the panic of 1893 and joined the recent bandwagon of foreign political assassinations because of his radical ideaology
