During James A. Garfield's presidency, which lasted only a few months in 1881 before his assassination, he made significant strides in civil service reform, advocating for merit-based appointments to government positions. However, his term was marred by political strife and infighting within the Republican Party, particularly between the Stalwarts and Half-Breeds. Garfield’s struggle with these factions ultimately contributed to his assassination by Charles Guiteau, a disgruntled office seeker. His brief time in office highlighted both the potential for reform and the deep divisions within American politics.
