Ultimately, just as President Abraham Lincoln, President John F.
Kennedy was assassinated and in 1968, Martin Luther King was

planning a national occupation of Washington, D.C., to be called the
Poor People's Campaign, when he was assassinated on April 4 in
Memphis, Tennessee.

With all the good Lyndon Johnson had done for Civil Rights and his

struggle to end the racism and bigotry of the South and the KKK,
unfortunately, in the congressional elections of 1966, the Republicans
gained three seats in the Senate and 47 in the House, reinvigorating the

conservative coalition and making it more difficult for Johnson to pass
any additional Great Society legislation and sadly, at the end of a speech
on March 31, 1968, he shocked the nation when he announced he would
not run for re-election by concluding with the line: "I shall not seek, and

I will not accept, the nomination of my party for another term as your
President."

And, next comes “Watergate”.

Keep in mind:

In the early beginnings, Leif Ericson is regarded as the very first
European to have landed in North America in AD 1000. Leif Ericson
came to North America five hundred years before Christopher

Columbus. Leif was initially going for Greenland but wound up landing
in what is now North America. He was following the trail blazed by his
father Erik the Red to bring Christianity to the people they encounter

during their voyages.
