Best Answer

He was probably better than most people think. He pushed forward the Civil Service Act which, unfortunately for him, was not popular with his supporters in his party and he was mistrusted by the reformers in the party and so was not really considered for a second term and thus was doomed to obscurity.

What kind of person was Chester Arthur?

Chester Alan Arthur (October 4, 1829 - Nov. 18, 1886) was 21st President of the United States. He was elected as Vice-President and became President when Garfield was killed. He was from New York and was put on the ticket as a favor to the Stalwart faction of the Republican party. These people enjoyed the political patronage that federal law allowed at the time. Arthur was a lawyer and Collector of Customs of the Port of New York when he was elected Vice-President. Once he became President, he pushed for civil service reform. His supporters in New York saw this as treason to his party, so they blocked his nomination for a second term. One interesting thing is that they was a dispute about whether he was born in the US. He claimed to have been born in northern Vermont, but some said he was born farther north, in Canada. His was Canadian and he and his wife did live in Canada not long before Chester was born, so the Canadian birth seemed believable. The only hard evidence was a family Bible.

Why does Sir Accolon expect to win the fight with King Arthur?

Because Accolon had the real Excalibur and even more importantly--the scabbard. Arthur had fakes and he did not realize it until the fight began and Accolon kept wounding the king and Arthur kept losing blood. Accolon felt there was no way he could lose with the magical protection of Excalibur and the scabbard. But Arthur was too good a fighter to begin with.
