Let's switch some Presidential assassination successes and failures. What differences in the world would we see if the assassinations of Presidents Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley and John F. Kennedy failed and the attempts against Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan succeeded?
With President Lincoln I see an easier reconstruction, maybe a little less bitterness in the South. With President Garfield the "Spoils System" of giving government jobs remains in place. With President Reagan dead, maybe the Soviet Union remains solvent longer, since Reagan is not there forcing them to spend to keep up with the US.
What are your thoughts?
