Idk if we’d be taught about Abe in my school not because it isn’t important but because foreign country. We didn’t even bother learning about the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan (American school obviously). I assume Japanese schools will learn about that for a very long time, especially as to my knowledge he’s their first head of state to be assassinated.
McKinley is important sure (though a lot of why his assassination is important isn’t talked about), but as the conflict he was killed over was, I hate to say mild, but as far as successful assassination of a sitting US president goes, gilded age anarchists vs capitalists was no civil war or Cold War.
And there are 4 assassinated sitting presidents. Every American knows who shot Lincoln and why. Every American knows that JFK was shot and whether or not they believe that it was by him they know Lee Harvey Oswald is who the government agrees did it, though I’d say Oswald’s ties to communism are less well known. Most Americans have heard McKinley was shot. I had to look up if there were more because 3 seemed too few, I had forgotten one, and idk if I learned about it in school.
