In the United States, on April 14, 1865, in the town of Washington, was shot President Abraham Lincoln, who died the next day. Lincoln was born in 1809 in Hodgeville, Kentucky. The Vice President Andrew Jackson succeeded him.
Junius Brutus Booth (1796-1852) was an Anglo-American actor, whose son Edwin Booth (1833-1893), also an actor, achieved considerable success as an interpreter of Shakespeare's tragedies. However, the last name Booth was installed in the history by another child actor, John Wilkes Booth (1838-1865), who with six accomplices carried out the assassination of President Lincoln at the Ford Theater in Washington during a performance. He was persecuted and finally died on April 26.
On July 2, 1881, James Abram Garfield (1831-1881), 20th President was gunned down in the town of Florida. He died on 19 September. Soon he came to exercise the office from March to September. His killer was Charles Guiteau. Took the Vice President Chester Allan Arthur (1830-1886). On 6 September 1901 ad, William McKinley (1843-1901), twenty-fifth President of the United States, was shot in the city of Buffalo, New York, dying the 14th of that month.

An extraordinary legend has woven in lathe to the Indian chieftain Tecumseh (1768-1813), Chief of the shawnee or shawano, tribes who spoke the language algonquian and concentrated around Ohio. In 1795, they were forced to withdraw from their lands. Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa, who was the Prophet of the Congregation, led his people to the banks of the Tippecanoe River, where they were again attacked and deprived of their settlements. Tecumseh allied to the British against the Americans, who hated for the way in which had persecuted his people. The chieftain was killed in battle.
But earlier, embittered by the loss of their lands, he threw a curse foreshadowing that those who were elected Presidents in years ending in zero would have a tragic end.
William Harrison, the ninth President of the United States, was elected in 1841 and died in the month of assuming the position. Lincoln was elected in 1860; Garfield in 1880; MC Kinley was re-elected in 1900. Warren Harding died suddenly in 1923, returning from a trip to Alaska; He had been elected in 1920. Kennedy in 1960. Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980 and suffered an attack that could cost you your life. George W. Bush was elected in 2000. Does it have the curse effects in the new century? Some restless researchers believe that, in reality, such curse was created many years later by some affection to stats and curiosities from the history. Others assume that it can't believe such nonsense.
Nice to know that the presidential succession in the United States is, in the event of death or absolute disability of the President: Vice President, President of the Chamber of representatives, interim President dcl Senate, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense and Attorney general.
The youngest President was Theodore Roosevelt, who had 42 to plunge in 1901. The more elderly, Ronald Reagan, who had 70 to plunge in 1981. The only one who was once elected and re-elected three was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who died in the exercise of his fourth term in 1945. He was replaced by Harry S. Truman.
Since a constitutional amendment limited the Presidency to a four-year term and a possible reelection at the same time. A single President was unmarried: James Buchanan, who ruled from 1857 to 1861.
Only two were Presidents after their parents: John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), sixth President from 1825-29, son John (1735-1826), dc second President dc his country between 1797 and 1801, and George W. Bush, son of George Herbert Walker Bush (1924-), forty-first President of the United States.
