Arthur benefited from the spoils system as he was appointed to the position of Collector of the Port of New York, a lucrative political patronage job, thanks to his connections within the Republican Party. His role allowed him to accumulate wealth and political influence, which he later leveraged to further his career. The spoils system enabled him to reward party loyalists and secure political support, ultimately helping him ascend to the vice presidency and then the presidency after Garfield's assassination.
