The '''Treaty of Mentor''' was not an actual treaty but it was unifying moment for the [[Republican Party]] after a contested convention in 1880. The nomination for [[James Garfield]] after the 36th ballot was unexpected and factions among Republicans who supported other candidates led to an appearance of division in the party.
[[Ulysses Grant]] and other prominent Republicans would meet Garfield at his residence in [[Mentor, Ohio]]. The meeting was both a get-to-know moment and showcasing Republicans in solidarity. The press that gathered in Mentor would dub the meeting a treaty. Also significant, it was the beginning of the first ever 'Front Porch Campaign' for president.
James Garfield would be elected [[President]] and assassinated all within one year.
