Three Presidents of the United States were assasinated between 1865 and 1901: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield and William McKinley. All three were Republicans and all were directly involved with service in the Civil War: the first as President and the latter 2 as Generals.
Alas, none of them were fortunate enough to serve a second term, with the unluckiest being the 20th President Garfield, whom was slain just 6 months and 15 days into his first term.
It goes to show you that in life you sometimes only have a short time to make your mark, so take advantage of all the time we have to make this world all you want it to be.
In 20 days you will have that chance...
