Who was the Southern President during the civil war?
Andrew Johnson was the first post-Civil War President from the south, but he was never elected: He assumed office upon the death of Abraham Lincoln and was never re-elected (in fact, he was nearly impeached). Harry Truman was from Missouri, which was a border state so he could possibly be considered, but the first clear-cut southern President was Lyndon Johnson (Texas). While his first term was assuming the Presidency after Kennedy's death, unlike Andrew Johnson, Lyndon Johnson was then re-elected on his own. Since then, there have been three 'Southern' Presidents - Jimmy Carter (Georgia), Bill Clinton (Arkansas), and George W Bush (Texas). George HW Bush is from Massachusetts, so wouldn't count.

Garfield was assassinated by a man who wanted to be appointed to a government job and blamed Garfield for not getting it. Garfield thus became a martyr, in a way. Since Garfield favored a reform in the way that civil service jobs were filled, you can say that he was a martyr for civil service.
