Joseph+K.+-+I+am+James+Garfield

The person for my I am project is James Garfield. Before I did my research I didn't know much about this person. All I knew, which was what got me interested, was that he was one president who got assassinated and died. I knew he didn't get a chance to accomplish any "presidential" goals. While researching, I had many questions, but not all of them were important once I thought about it. One of them was, how did a person become a president from a preacher? A question that I was very curious about was about the fight or dispute that caused James Garfield's assassination.
