James Garfield\r
\r
Of the four American Presidents to be assassinated, James Garfield, was maybe the least remembered. But its probably the weirdest of the bunch.\r
\r
Garfield was the 20th US president, having won the 1880 election. As the Republican nominee, he won his partys nomination, even though his party was divided between the establishment and a fion known as Stalwarts. A member of that fion was a crazy man named Charles J. Guiteau. Convinced that by giving a poorly attended speech, Guiteau, who had a history of mental illness, figured he should be appointed as an ambassador. Garfield and his cabinet saw things differently and denied him any such post.\r
\r
In a measure of revenge, Guiteau set about to kill President Garfield. He stalked him for weeks and finally put his plan into ion on July 2, 1881, when he shot Garfield at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station in Washington D.C. President Garfield died on September 19th because of complications with his gunshot wound.\r
\r
His Vice President, Chester A. Arthur became president, and Guiteau, obviously still insane, thought that Arthur, a fellow Stalwart, would reward him for killing the President. Unfortunately for him, it panned out a bit differently. He was tried during November of 1881, in a bizarre spectacle. During his trial he would recite long, nonsensical poems as his defense and would solicit legal advice from bewildered spectators. His defense argued, probably correctly, that he was mentally insane, but he was still sentenced to die. He was hung on June 30, 1882, allegedly dancing his way to the gallows. \r

William McKinley\r
\r
The 25th U.S President isnt talked about all that much. But his presidency was pretty important, if only for his assassination in 1901, which led to Teddy Roosevelt becoming President. \r
\r
The Newly elected Mckinley was six months into his second term when he made a visit to the Pan-American Expo in Buffalo, New York. While stopping in the Temple of Music, he was shot by an anarchist named Leon Czolgosz. McKinley died six days later from gangrene. Czolgosz had lost his job during the economic panic of 1893, which he apparently blamed on McKinley. \r
\r
The assassination was done in front of a crowd of people, and Czolgosz was sentenced to death, via the electric chair. It was significant in that it led to Teddy Roosevelt, one of the most influential presidents ever, taking office AND it led congress to officially establish the Secret Service to protect the President. Ironically, McKinleys Secretary of State knew something was fishy at the Expo and tried to cancel the Presidents visit to the Temple of Music, twice. McKinley overruled him, twice. \r
\r
Martin Luther King Jr.\r
\r
No one was more iconic during the 1960s Civil Rights movement than Martin Luther King Jr. His death in 1968 had a huge imp on the movement, the decade, and arguably, American History. \r
\r
His accolades during the late 50s and 60;s are numerous, and by now were all very aware of his imp. As a vocal and proive leader of civil rights, he was an inspiration to people of every race. His advocacy for nonviolence and civil disobedience won him a nobel peace prize in 1964. But he also made more than a few enemies along the way. \r
\r
On April 4, 1968, King was staying at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, he was shot and killed by a man named James Earl Ray. Ray was seen fleeing the scene and evidence was later recovered with his fingerprints. But Ray managed to escape to Canada and hid out for over a month. When he was finally arrested in London in March of 1969, he confessed to the killing.
