Explanation: After the US Civil War, fought over the issue of slavery, there was an immense appetite in the anti-slavery North for forcibly reforming the pro-slavery South during “Reconstruction”, the period of military occupation following the Civil War.
The assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, however, led to Andrew Johnson succeeding him. Andrew Johnson was a blatant white supremacist who was opposed to effectively all measures to reform the South. Johnson would fail miserably when he actually had to run in an election a few years later, but the damage had been done - Reconstruction efforts were immensely damaged by the support for the planter aristocracy by the highest office in the land.

Killing Johnson soon after the election could have prevented Nazism, change my mind.
Killing Taft in late 1911 or early 1912 would have done more to prevent both Stalinism and Nazism.
Without Taft running against Teddy, Wilson doesn’t win. Remove Wilson and the entire 20th century looks vastly different.
¿Por que no los dos?
this is a good point.
