Book excerpt: Within the span of one generation three of eight American presidents left office via the assassin's bullet rather than the ballot, and yet the image presented to the world conveyed the ideas of stability, continuity, and peaceful societal evolution. This book is an examination of public rhetoric with regard to the assassinations of three American presidents, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley. The public rhetoric before, during and after each assassination is examined. This examination is used as examples and evidence to build the case that the elites in America used that rhetoric to promote the secular deification of the murdered Presidents within the context of a secular American Political Religion.
