From the article, burning his papers, letting questions remain unanswered, those kinds of things. Even his predecessor's heirs created a library for Garfield's papers during Arthur's term.

From the article, burning his papers, letting questions remain unanswered, those kinds of things. Even his predecessor's heirs created a library for Garfield's papers during Arthur's term.

I think the article badly exaggerates the sinister nature of Arthur's actions. For example, if he was so concerned about the circumstances of his birth and was convinced he was actually ineligible due to his father's citizenship status then why would his father's naturalization certificate be in his presidential papers in the Library of Congress? Shouldn't that have been the first to go?
