McKinley's assassination has always fascinated me. Weirdly enough, it's because I grew up a Buffalo Bills fan, and when I discovered MicKinley was killed in Buffalo, I was instantly drawn in. The fact he survived and continued to communicate for a week made the story even more interesting (and sad), as a lot of his conversations were recorded. It really made me respect the man a whole lot more, and it's crazy how positive his attitude was throughout the whole thing. Also, that whole Pan-American Expo (where he was shot) was also interesting. At the time, Buffalo was one of the fastest growing cities & the center for a lot of new technology like electricity, as it was the first American city to have widespread electric lighting. 8,000,000+ visitors attended the show, only for the president to be killed there.

RFK's widow is still alive. And his assassin for that matter.

Edwin Booth not only saved Lincoln's son, he voted for him twice, something that rankled his brother quite a bit. That said, the entire audience did not chase after Booth. Nobody did. Once they realized the president had been shot they were far more interested in what was going on in the presidential box. John Wilkes Booth learned Lincoln would be at Fords a bit late in the event but the plan to assassinate him that night was already in place. Booth just thought it would happen during the play, Aladdin or his Magical Lamp at Grover's Theater a few blocks away. I disagree with the notion that the Garfield and McKinley assassinations weren't as significant as Lincoln and Kennedy. In some ways they were more significant in that they ushered in major changes to how things were done. After Guiteau shot Garfield the Pendleton Act of 1883 was passed, establishing a merit-based system for civil-service jobs, putting a big dent in the spoils system where who you knew mattered most. People stopped lining up outside the president's office each day looking for jobs. McKinley's assassination led to the Secret Service taking over presidential protection. Even after Lincoln and Garfield were killed people were still not convinced of the need for full-time protection for the president. That all changed after the third guy got whacked. One thing that hasn't changed though is the idea that presidential assassins are crazy. Guiteau was nuts, but the other three were all politically motivated. Booth wanted to avenge the South and help the confederacy rise again. Czolgosz was an anarchist wannabe who got riled up after hearing a speech by Emma Goldman, also known as "Red Emma." Oswald was defending Castro. The left-wing papers he subscribed to were always going on about the Kennedy's plans to overthrow or kill Castro and Cuba was Oswald's last chance at living the socialist dream. He thought if he made a big enough splash the Cubans would let him in. This was after the counsel at the Cuban embassy had already told him to stay away because he believed Oswald was too unstable to hang around the place. As for the Kennedy assassination, an entire cottage industry has grown up for the conspiracy crowd. The guy did a good job staying away from those. But the commentator here is right about what Nellie Connally said. She didn't spew out all of that word salad. She said she simply told Kennedy; "You can't say Dallas doesn't love you Mr. President." That was it. A couple seconds later Lee Harvey would offer a retort to that sentiment in a very straight-forward manner, proving there was at least one person in the city who wasn't wild about JFK. On the matter of the book Johnson used to take the oath, it was JFK's Catholic Missal which happened to be on board Air Force One. As for having Jackie stand next to him during that swearing-in, that decision was driven by LBJ's insecurities and his paranoia about the Kennedy's, especially Bobby who hated Johnson's guts. He wanted the world to see that the Kennedy's were okay with him being president and taking the oath on board the plane. Johnson first asked JFK's aide Kenny O'Donnell if he thought it would be a good idea and O'Donnell, who didn't like Lyndon any more than Bobby, said; "Leave her alone, the poor kid has been though enough." But Jackie, overhearing the conversation, said; "No, it's okay," and agreed to stand next to him. Of course by the time RFK got on board Air Force One the whole event was over-dramatized by Kennedy's staff members and acolytes who really behaved badly that day. Johnson was gracious and considerate but they made him out to be a boorish Philistine, especially when it came to his treatment of Jackie. The Kennedy team couldn't get over the fact that Johnson was president. O'Donnell even said; "He's got it now, but we'll get it back in 68," during the flight back to D.C. As Johnson put it, he wasn't sure Bobby was going to let him be president at first. They were an entitled bunch, that's for sure. Finally, Ruby and Oswald were the last guys anyone would use as part of a conspiracy, especially a presidential assassination. The KGB considered Oswald to be a loser and a bit of a nutcase. They wanted to kick him out of the USSR but Oswald had a sympathetic babushka in the Politburo in his corner, the highest ranking woman in Soviet political circles. She insisted that he be allowed to stay, saying it would look bad if they kicked a young idealist like Oswald out of the country. The KGB were stuck at that point, so they shipped him off to Minsk where they figured he could cause the least amount of mischief. As for Ruby, he had a quick temper and had spent his young life in and out of foster homes because like Oswald, his mother was NVTS nuts. His nickname was sparky because he was so volatile, and he had a big mouth, hardly the kind of guy the mob would use to carry out a contract. Ruby said he did it to show the world Jews had guts. He was pissed that the Dallas Morning News had ran an add critical of Kennedy the day of the assassination and that a Jew's name appeared at the bottom as the guy who paid for it. He thought someone would try to tie the killing to the Jews. He wasn't religious but he was very protective of Jews and Jewish heritage. He would smack anyone who said anything against Jews and he used to tag along with other Jews and bust up German Bund rallies in the 1930s. Like I say, Ruby and Oswald were peas in a pod when it came to unstable personality types. Anyway, that was a good video. My response is lengthy, but this is a topic that interests me. I recommend Destiny of the Republic by Candace Millard if you want to learn about the Garfield assassination and The President and the Assassin by Scott Miller if you want to learn about the McKinley murder. That book provides great background into the anarchy movement in America as well. A very well written book.

What is interesting are the unsuccessful attempts. A madman tried to kill Jackson, his gun misfiring, with Jackson beating the attempted assassin with his walking stick. Ford had the only two women who attempted to kill a president. Squeaky Fromme did not pay attention on how to use the gun she stole, and tried with an empty chamber. Sara Jane Moore was a known nutcase, and had her guns taken when Ford was planning a visit to SF. She never had a chance to sight in her replacement gun, and missed her first shot. She was tackled as she tried a second shot.

In 1896 Garrett Hobart was President William McKinley's VP. Teddy Roosevelt wanted to be the 1900 VP candidate. Hobart refused to step aside then died in November 1899, age 55. TR and McKinley were elected November, 1900. McKinley was assassinated September, 1901 and TR became president. McKinley's campaign manager, Senator Mark Hanna, wanted to challenge TR in GOP presidential primaries in 1904. Hanna died February, 1904. TR is re-elected in November, 1904.

At the time, TR was Governor of New York and was working to reform the political system of the state. However, Thomas Platt the New York Republican Party boss hated TR and wanted him out of the state so he pressured McKinley to choose Roosevelt as his VP. TR relucantly accepted. The Vice Presidency at this point wasn't a highly sought after position. It was seen as a place where political careers go to die. Thomas Platt and others wanted to punish Teddy by putting him in a powerless position.

I understand the "it was a different time, a different society" thing. But even for the 1860s, it still seems pretty mystifying that Lincoln didn't have closer, more organized security than he did ("eh, the one drunk guy is enough"), given the wartime conditions.

I was just about to recommend this video.

Rest in peace to our slain Presidents. 🕊️🇺🇲 Lincoln the Emancipator, Garfield the Civil War General, McKinley the Stabilizer and Kennedy the World War II Vet.

I don’t know if you ever have heard or seen of Threads from the national tapestry. But they do wonderful videos about different aspects of the American civil war. Kind of longer videos but might be interesting to you to check out! Love what you do!

McKinley sounds like a legend

Have you been to Garfield's Memorial in Lakeview Cemetery? You could do a whole video on that alone, they finally finished the renovations this spring and reopened the upper viewing deck which is beautiful!

I wrote a play about Robert Lincoln meeting with Henry Rathbone (who was in the Presidential box when Both shot the President) in 1872 following the assassination of Garfield. Along the way I learned no one called him Robert Todd Lincoln, ever. But people kept complaining about people calling him "Bob" even though that IS how EVERYONE called him. I personally feel Rathbone was already suffering from PTSD at this point, and events made things much worse. He became erratic, tempestuous, paranoid, and suffered from a variety of physical ailments under the heading of "dyspepsia." He showed no known signs of mental illness prior to the war. He believed himself hounded by the press at every anniversary of Lincoln's life, and his wife said he was not always wrong.

19:31 Another point on Garfield: He actually gave a nominating speech for fellow Ohio politician John Sherman at the 1880 GOP Convention. It went so well … delegates eventually rallied behind Garfield and picked him!

36:28 Johnson was sworn in on a Catholic Missal (a book of Gospel/other Bible readings and prayers used during Mass) to be precise. We Catholics still use Missals to this day. I haven't read about whether said Missal used in Johnson's swearing-in was before or after the Second Vatican Council (1958 - 1962). Missals before Vatican II were in Latin. Those after Vatican II are typically in the vernacular (i.e. local language).

James Garfield is my 5th great uncle.

Dr. Doctor Blitz reminds of Major Major Major from Catch 22.

Johnson asked his secretary to go back and ask Jackie, “if she’d like to stand with us.” To which Jackie responded, “it’s the least I can do.” Later in life, Jackie would tell friends she regretted washing the blood off her face for the photo. Also, it was a Catholic missal LBJ was sworn in on, by the only female to perform the ceremony.

As it would turn out, there is a connection between Robert Todd Lincoln and JFK. Lee Harvey Oswald’s father was not only named Robert Edward Lee Oswald, but was also a distant cousin of Robert E. Lee, who Robert Lincoln met at Appomattox Courthouse. Not only this, but Robert E Lee Oswald was also a third cousin of Teddy Roosevelt, who was also shot during his presidency. THE CURSE IS REAL

The biopic movie 'Jackie' might give some insight in why she was present at that moment. I've seen it, and the moment is in the movie, but I forgot the details surrounding it.
