Eisenhower's last act as president was to send the airborn to little rock to end segergation in the schools. One week later the president, vice president and their wives were driving through DC, three members of the KKK attacked their car with a bomb, and then riddled the car with gunfire.

President Eisenhower was killed instantly, but then Vice President Nixon could only watch helplessly as his wife Pat slowly bled out in his arms. The three assasins were caught and their leader Sam Owens gave a racist tirade during the very public trial.

This event was credited by many for making the 1950s what it was, forging President Nixion into the man he became, and giving the civil rights movement a Martred president.

But what if the attack had failed, what would have happened to america, how would the world be changed?
