Chester A. Arthur did not give a traditional inauguration speech when he assumed the presidency in September 1881, following the assassination of James A. Garfield. Instead, he delivered a brief address in which he expressed his gratitude for the trust placed in him and emphasized the need for national unity. His lack of a formal speech was due to the circumstances surrounding his ascension to the presidency.
