| Who is this president? |
|
____, the 20th President of the United States, was a man of many talents. In the years before he became president, he was a professor of ancient languages, a college president, a lawyer, an ordained minister, an Ohio legislator, a U.S. Representative, an Army chief of staff and major general, and a U.S. Senator. One of the first presidential candidates to actively campaign for the office, ____ is known for his support for education and the full rights of citizenship for African-Americans. After only four months in office, ____ was shot in the back by Charles Guiteau, a disappointed office seeker. He lived for 80 days and finally died of slow blood poisoning. The length of time he lay dying caused Congress to consider the question of when a Vice-President should become President.
