I wonder how that would have influenced our current situation in the US.

    I'd get to add another stop on my "a sitting president died here" road trip.

      For the curious here is a list, each location is given in a descending the east coast then heading west order, [denotes a pleasent secondary outing for each death].

      Buffalo, New York:

      The Milburn residence (McKinley) [Also visit the temple of music, where anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot him, and where doctors absolutely fucked his abdomen trying to pull the bullet out at the fairground hospital]

      Hyde Park, NY:

      [I'd recommend stopping here for FDR's presidential library, because honestly there's nothing cool in Georgia, you can also see his grave at the Springwood estate)

      DC: The white house (Harrison [Visit the Capitol building where its sayed he caught the cold leading to his death by giving an hours long inauguration speech, this story isn't true, he get sick from the raw sewage upstream on the white house's water supply, still a good story tho], Taylor [Visit the Washington monument, where he caught something from eating "copious amounts of raw cherries and milk" during the ribbon cutting])

      The Petersen House (Lincoln [Ford's Theatre is across the street])

      [For Garfield visit the west building of the national gallery, a former train station where he was shot]

      Elberon New Jersey:

      The site of Franklyn cottage, its marked with a granite plack on Garfield Road [I'm actually going to have two outings for Garfield, when it was announced that he was going to Elberon the town Laird out 25 full god dman miles of railroad track basically overnight so he could go directly to the cottage, after they were torn up someone built a tea house with the sleepers, its at the Long Branch Historical Museum.]

      Warm Springs, Georgia:

      The Little White House (FDR, rip to the only OK president)

      Dallas, Texas:

      Parkland Memorial Hospital (JFK, [The Texas Book Depository obviously])

      San Fransisco, California:

      The Palace Hotel (Harding [there isn't really anything interesting around here, he just had a cerebral hemorrhage and croaked, or got poisoned by his wife depending on who you ask, but its on market street so I'm sure you'll find something])
