FYI, no states were admitted to the Union during Arthur's time in office (less than a term, since he became president following the assassination death of Garfield). The first federal civil service law was passed and signed.

Arthur's administration (surprisingly, considering his somewhat shady reputation upon entering office) was considered by historians to be well run - no big scandals, no wars of consequence, no major economic crises.
