So I just watched a PBS documentary about James Garfield who as we know was assassinated by Charles J Guiteau over a denial of a Civil Service appointment. Garfield was a strong supporter-for the time-of civil and other rights for blacks. So suppose Charles J Guiteau gets the job he is looking for and James Garfield goes on the serve his first term and is re-elected for a second. What is this fair and reformed minded president able to accomplish for the US in general but specifically for the long suffering blacks of the South ? It seems to me Garfield was the right man at the right time for the presidency and its very unfortunate he went so quickly !
