In 1901, one of the most popular (and populist) presidents of all time, William McKinley was shot and killed on 9/6/01, by a reported anarchist, who wanted to kill McKinley because of his stance on industry, production and tariffs.  Like most politically motivated shootings, it made absolutely zero sense.  McKinley had defeated Spain as the commander in chief of the Spanish American War, and in so doing acquired the Philippines and Puerto Rico. Cuba was given it's independence, while tariffs assured the burgeoning buying class of the American people relatively high wages to buy products made in the USA, versus Europe.

Under McKinley, Americans began to enjoy the fruits of prosperity in the post reset era.

But on 9/6/01, McKinley was shot at "The Temple Of Music" at the Buffalo World's Fair.  He would die eight days later on September 14th.

His death would mark a ritual killing, a "Kill King" ritual for the 20th century and it would take place in Buffalo, NY.
