McKinley’s Assassination

On September 6th, 1901, President William McKinley visited the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. His secretary had worried about an assassination attempt and persuaded the president not to go ahead with the visit on two previous occasions. However, on this day the president managed to convince his aide, but it was to his own detriment. An anarchist by the name of Leon Czolgosz approached the president and shot him twice in the abdomen. He would die 8 days later.

As the 42nd president of the United States, Bill Clinton served 2 terms in office, between 1993 and 2001. During that time, America witnessed the longest period of economic expansion during peace of any president, who ever served in office. A reporter for the White House, Helen Thomas said, “He has brought on the greatest prosperity we have ever known and he doesn’t get the credit for it and that’s too bad”. Clinton also had the highest approval rating since World War II of 60%.
