jul 2, 1881 - President James Garfield Assassinated

Description:

Charles J. Giteau assassinated Garfield due to a fake political debt, because Giteau was absolutely insane

Giteau claimed to be a genius when it came to politics, writing a paper for Garfield's political opponent, but when the tide began to shift in favor of Garfield, Giteau just changed the name out on his pre-written paper for Garfield's thus creating the imagined political debt that killed president Garfield
