FF-seems to have genuinely cared about both civil rights for blacks and civil service reform

Not that the spoils system was a good thing, but in practice "civil service reform" was code for throwing blacks out of government jobs.

Garfield was still the best president of the Gilded Age (I don't count Grant under it), or more accurately the least awful for obvious reasons. Voted FF.
