Answer;

Assassination of President Garfield

Explanation;

President Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau at 9:30 am, in Washington, D.C. less than four months into Garfield's term as the 20th President of the United States. Garfield died eleven weeks later on September 19, 1881. His Vice President, Chester A. Arthur, succeeded Garfield as President.

One factor that encouraged president Arthur to pursue the civil service reform was the fact that President Garfield was shot by a crazed office seeker who thought he was owed a government job due to his support for Garfield in the election.

The assassination of James A. Garfield made it possible for the new president and longtime political spoilsman, Chester Arthur, to combat the patronage system's excesses.

Which best explains why Florida viewed President Abraham Lincoln as a threat? Lincoln was anti-slavery and Florida voters feared
Monica [59]

Answer:

A). Lincoln was anti-slavery and Florida voters feared he would start a war to prevent the practice of owning enslaved persons.

Explanation:

The key reason for Florida considering Lincoln(who was the president at the time) as a threat was '<u>Lincoln's anti-slavery attitude which made the voters of Florida fear that he might move to the extent of beginning a battle for the rights of slaved and against the ones who own them</u>.' He even says, 'if slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong.' Since Lincoln believed in leading the nation with morality, ethics, and constitution, this made Florida to think twice that his abolitionist attitude may pose a threat to them. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
