DESCRIPTION:

The 25th President of the United States, William McKinley, was just six months into his second term as President of the United States when he was assassinated on September 6, 1901, by Leon Czolgosz, an American citizen of Polish decent. The President died eight days later.

McKinley was neither the first nor last American President to be assassinated in office. Abraham Lincoln was the first, killed in 1865, and James A. Garfield was the second in 1881, having been in office for four months. John F Kennedy was the last in 1963.

McKinley was the last President to have served in the American Civil War (1860-1865). After his assassination, the US Congress mandated the Secret Service be used to protect the President of the United States from all threats, foreign and domestic. Its original purpose was to investigate counterfeiting after the Civil War, and it evolved into the US's first intelligence and counter-intelligence agency. Later it was split into several law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, DEA, ATF, CIA, and IRS-CI.

The Secret Service's mission continues to include protecting the financial and trade infrastructure of the United States as well as providing protection for its leaders.
