Vice President Chester Arthur became after President Garfield was assassinated. He was a secretive man and not much is known about his childhood. He even burned his private papers before he died. During most of his long career in politics, he was a firm believer in the spoils system, in which people who supported candidates were rewarded with government jobs, even if they were dishonest or weren't qualified.
