Not possible? An American Coup D'Etat - Revisited

For those who wonder whether election fraud is possible, read the following:

An American coup d'etat? - plot against Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1934

Some Americans regard their country as superior to other nations because they do not change governments by coup etat - and never have. Perhaps because of a long tradition of power changing hands by election, Americans regard their nation as immune to the use of force for political purposes. True, assassins have killed four presidents but these deaths did not lead to turmoil and chaos; the government simply followed well-established procedures for transferring control to the vice-president. Unlike other nations where assassination often leads to civil war, the United States has avoided this.

How different is America from nations where political power comes quite directly `from the barrel of a gun'? A curious footnote to American history suggests that, except for the personal integrity of a remarkable American general, a coup d'etat intended to remove President Franklin D. Roosevelt from office in a 1934 might have plunged America into civil war.
