Presidential Curse: "Tippecanoe"

The Curse of Tippecanoe, associated with presidents elected or re-elected in years ending in "0," began with the death of William Henry Harrison in 1841, one month into his presidency. According to folklore, the curse originated from Harrison's involvement in the Battle of Tippecanoe, angering Native Americans who allegedly cursed him. Notable instances include the assassinations of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy, but Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, both elected in "0" years, survived assassination attempts, leading some to believe the curse was broken.
