The “Year Ending In 1” Curse by for End of The American Dream
What I am going to share with you today is very strange. Just recently, a friend of mine named “Ben” suggested that I do some research on years ending in the number one. So I started to do some digging, and I just kept finding more stuff. In particular, there appears to be a pattern of great tragedies that keeps repeating every 20 years. I don’t know what it means, but it sure is odd. I will share what I have found, and you can decide for yourself what to make of it.
1841: President William Henry Harrison died from pneumonia while he was still in office. Many believe that his death was caused by “the Curse of Tippecanoe”, and I will explain what that is later in this article.
1861: This is the year when the Civil War began, and it lasted until 1865. 1861 was also the year when Abraham Lincoln first became president, and he was later assassinated in 1865 while he was still in office.

1881: President James Garfield was assassinated while he was still in office.
1901: President William McKinley was assassinated while he was still in office.
1921: Warren Harding became the 29th president of the United States in 1921, and he died while he was still in office in 1923. This was also the year when Adolf Hitler became the chairman of the Nazi Party.
1941: This was the year when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entered World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt began another term of his presidency in 1941, and he later died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1945 during his fourth term in office.
1961: This was the year when John F. Kennedy entered the White House and the Cold War really kicked into high gear. It was the year when construction of the Berlin Wall commenced and it was the year of the ill-fated Bay of Pigs invasion. Of course the Bay of Pigs ultimately led to the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 and the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963.
1981: This was the year that Ronald Reagan was inaugurated. Later that same year, he was shot and almost killed by an assassin.
2001: This was the year that George W. Bush was inaugurated. Later that same year, 9/11 changed the world forever.
2021: This was the year when Joe Biden entered the White House. This has also been the year of the fall of Afghanistan, vaccine mandates, an unprecedented crisis on the southern border, “Bidenflation” and widespread shortages. And needless to say, this year is still far from over.
So if there is a clear pattern in what I have just shared with you, what could have caused it?
Well, some historians have pointed to a curse that was placed upon William Henry Harrison before his death. Because Harrison caused so much immense suffering for his people, a Shawnee leader known as “Tenskwatawa” placed a curse on all future U.S. presidents that would be elected in years ending in a zero…
