Attending Union College, Arthur showed far more interest in extracurricular activities and political demonstrations than in his studies. As a young man, Arthur worked for one of the most prominent law firms in New York City. He was involved in two cases focusing on African American rights. One involved fugitive slaves while the other centered on segregated streetcars. Political Machine Operator Arthur also worked actively for Roscoe Conkling, a New York Republican Party boss and U.S. senator who used patronage and party discipline to advance his power. Conkling headed a major party faction, the Stalwarts. Recognizing the administrative genius that Arthur demonstrated as quartermaster general for all of New York during the Civil War and his success as a lawyer, Conkling helped Arthur get appointed as collector of the Port of New York under Republican President Ulysses S. Grant. While there is no evidence of blatant corruption on Arthur's part, the New York Customs House had close ties to Boss Conkling's political machine; Arthur routinely collected kickbacks of salary called "assessments" from customs house employees to support the Republican Party.

Ratio % of Pres. to % of Pop. Episcopalian Presbyterian Methodist Baptist Unitarian Disciples of Christ Dutch Reformed Quaker Catholic Congregationalist/ United Church of Christ Keep in mind that in the table above, the % of the U.S. population for religious groups are current figures. Religious groups have had much different proportions at various time in U.S. history. One of the most over-represented religious groups among U.S. presidents is Unitarianism. Despite merging with Universalism in the 1960s, the combined proportion of Unitarian Universalists in the U.S. population is just 0.2% of the population (one in every 500 Americans). Yet there have been 4 Unitarian presidents. Another over-represented religious group among U.S. presidents is Dutch Reformed, by virtue of having two U.S. presidents, yet having only a small number of people left in the country who identify themselves as Reformed. The contemporary heir to the Dutch Reformed churches is the "Reformed Church in America," which has about 300,000 members in the U.S. and Canada. (Alternatively, one might count only a single president as Dutch Reformed, if Theodore Roosevelt is counted as an Episcopalian sources differ on this subject . Even just one Dutch Reformed president would constitute statistical over-representation.) After that, Disciples of Christ, Episcopalians, and Quakers have also had representation in the White House far outstripping their proportion of the U.S. population.

Born in Vermont, Arthur graduated from Union College in Schenectady, New York, and taught school before moving to New York City, where he was admitted to the bar in 1854. An antislavery Whig, Arthur joined the Republican party at its birth. He was appointed engineer in chief on the New York governor's military staff in 1861 and then became quartermaster general of New York because of his honesty and efficiency. He served until the Republicans lost the governorship in 1862. After the Civil War, Arthur helped build Roscoe Conkling's political organization as collector of the Port of New York, where he was responsible for collecting two-thirds of the nation's tariff revenue. Arthur mastered the tariff laws and within the limits imposed by the spoils system brought some efficiency to the customhouse. Nevertheless, President Rutherford B. Hayes removed him from office in 1878, believing that partisan considerations were his central concern. Out of office but not out of politics, Arthur became chairman of the New York Republican State Committee and in 1880 was nominated for the vice presidency to balance the ticket headed by James A. Garfield. The Republicans won the election, but after Garfield was assassinated, Arthur became president in September 1881.
