In 1881, President James A. Garfield faced a politically turbulent environment marked by factionalism within the Republican Party. He was inaugurated in March but struggled with internal party conflicts, particularly between the Stalwarts, who supported the traditional patronage system, and the Half-Breeds, who advocated for civil service reform. His presidency was cut short when he was shot by assassin Charles Guiteau in July, leading to a prolonged struggle with his injuries before he ultimately died in September. This event underscored the era's political tensions and the need for reform in the appointment of government officials.
