James A. Garfield’s great great grandson is the creator of Magic The Gathering.

Fun Fact: George Washington rode a Dodge Challenger into battle against the red coats.

Guiteau can't take all the credit for killing Garfield though... his doctor Willard Bliss also had a 'hand' in it. A greasy, grubby, unwashed hand

Garfield actually didn't die from the guy that shot him. He survived and went to the hospital... Where they mistook where the bullet was... And pushed further into his wound... With their dirty fingers... Y'know, he would've been fine if he just didn't go to the hospital...

Grant actually had a positive kill ratio during the war. It was Lee who lost more of his own men then his army killed.

Btw. the story behind Garfield’s assassin is actually way more interesting than Garfield himself

Everyone else: "this guy was gruesomely assassinated and/or insane"
Chester: _walk walk fashion baby_

Andrew Johnson also rolled back civil rights laws

You forgot the part about how that guy was literally just a crazy person who Garfield had never even met (except maybe to shake his hand at a big meet 'n' greet type of deal)

Grant was a sad case.
He was known to go to his tent and weep after especially bloody days of fighting.
He knew what he needed to do to win, but he went for his men when he thought they could not hear him

I wonder if Grant had some form of PTSD, considering not much research was put into that kind of thing until after the Great War.

Grant being given an unfair reputation as a butcher in the CivilWar is very ironic as he hated blood and killing animals.

I love that Hayes is completely unknown and ignored in the US but is considered a hero in my country

U.S Grant may have had a high casualty rate in the overland campaign, but overall he inflicted WAY more casualties (percentage wise) on his enemy than he received (something like 18% vs 22%)

Andrew Johnson really was the absolute worst, wasn't he?
