James A. Garfield

he was killed because charels came over to Washington to get a governmentjob but Garfield rufused to give him a government job then a day later he was shot. after sevral weeks of sufering James abram Garfield died........

because Charles Guiteau was an insane looney. He was mad at the president for not giving him a higher rank. Charles thought that he helped Garfield win the election of 1880.

Mary "Mollie" Garfield Stanley-Brown, daughter of President James Garfield, died on November 30,1947 , age 80, at Pasadena, California.

No, he does not like anchovies (especially on Pizza)

Guiteau probably hoped to achieve nothing except the President's death. His anger at not being appointed to a job as council to Paris appears to be his only motivation and he made no effort to eluded arrest.

He was a active member of the Disciples of Christ. While in college he did some lay preaching.

Guiteau was a mentally deranged person who believed he had earned a job under the "spoils system" and was bitterly disappointed when he did not get an appointment.

James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, stood for civil service reform, advocating for a merit-based system over the patronage system that dominated politics of his time. He was also a strong supporter of education and believed in the importance of higher education for all citizens. Additionally, Garfield was a proponent of economic modernization and infrastructure development, aiming to enhance the nation's industrial capabilities. His presidency, though cut short by assassination, reflected a commitment to progress and integrity in government.

This is a persistent historical myth. There is NO evidence that Garfield could write Greek with one hand and Latin in the other simultaneously.

Garfield was from Ohio and lived there all of life.
