This is one of the most complicated and debated issues in 20th century American history. Many historians argue that the killing of President Kennedy had a few particular results:
1. Increased tensions between the U.S. and Soviet Union. At the time of Kennedy's killing, he was is the midst of negotiating a peace treaty with the Soviets, a treaty that was not supported by the following administration.
2. An increased American military presence in Vietnam. President Kennedy was considering pulling American military advisors out of Vietnam. His death, many historians feel, indirectly lead to the Vietnam War.
3. A sense of paranoia and distrust in the American government from American citizens. In the years following the death of President Kennedy, many Americans came to doubt the official story of Kennedy's death and believed that the government was hiding information from the public.

In the late 19th century the habits of the theatergoers was not the best. In fact, they were mostly a rural audience, and sometimes they were rowdy. The managers of the theaters tried to make everyone behave in a civil manner. One of the main complains was the tobacco spit all over the floor around the entertainment venues. At some point those people were required to carry a spittoon to avoid spitting in the floor.
Theatergoers were not required to sit still and be quiet like they do now. They actually ate and drank during the presentation, and sometimes interrupted the performance. Theater owners were very concerned with these disturbances and tried to enforce good behavior.
Even though there was some occasional annoying behavior by theatergoers, for the most part they were very polite, responsive and receptive to the performance.
