Detailed explanation-1: -Czolgosz, a Polish immigrant, grew up in Detroit and had worked as a child laborer in a steel mill. As a young adult, he gravitated toward socialist and anarchist ideology. He claimed to have killed McKinley because he was the head of what Czolgosz thought was a corrupt government.
Detailed explanation-2: -On this day in 1901, President William McKinley died, eight days after being shot in the stomach at the World’s Fair in Buffalo, New York. He was the third U.S. President to be assassinated–and his death created the modern Secret Service.
Detailed explanation-3: -Theodore Roosevelt was at the Isle La Motte home of former Lt. Gov. Nelson Fisk on Sept. 6, 1901, when he learned President William McKinley had been shot and seriously wounded in Buffalo, New York.
Detailed explanation-4: -The 50-page text of his campaign speech folded over twice in Roosevelt’s breast pocket and a metal glasses case slowed the bullet, saving his life.
