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.
