José Martí’s Stance on the Government’s Role in Ensuring Virtuosity Through the writings of José Martí, a reader witnesses his strong love for justice, virtue, and duty. His writings illustrate, with fantastic diction, Martí’s profound distaste for those who are not virtuous; specifically governments that are not virtuous. The theme that is consistently found in the work of Martí is his belief that the government is ultimately responsible for the acts carried out by its citizens. He believes that

The Gilded Age (1869-1896), cynically named so by Mark Twain, was a time of industrial growth and underwhelming political movement. After Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, the Union’s top general, was elected President of the United States during the 1868 election.

realized that education could be my way out of poverty. I buckled down and tried to take advantage of the free education provided to us by the government. The more I learned, the more I realized that my goal in life was to help those in need. West Chester is an excellent university for me because they match my passion for human rights and diversity.

President James A. Garfield was and still is one of the most respected presidents to serve in the White House. Millard 's book is split into parts, each part a significant chunk from Garfield 's life. Millard wrote of Garfield becoming president in the first two parts, then focuses more on his death in parts three and four of her book, and I found what she wrote to be fascinating.
