Chester ARTHUR (October 5, 1829 – November 18, 1886) 21st President of the United States of America (candidate of the Republican Party) from 1881 to 1885; vice president of James A. Garfield, he succeeded him in the highest office when the latter died following the fatal attempt on his life. His moralizing work passed through the approval of the Pendelton Act on the reform in the direction of anti-corruption of the civil service, but also of the Edmund Laws that prohibited polygamy to the detriment of the powerful hierarchies of the Mormon Church. He did not act against the Supreme Court ruling that had declared unconstitutional the Civil Rights Act of 1875, a law in favor of equal treatment of citizens regardless of race; his administration blocked Chinese immigration, considered excessive, through the Chinese Exclusion Act; internal policy regarding the native populations followed that of his predecessors: the attempt to further ghettoize the Apache tribes in the reservations provoked the last great Indian rebellion against the white settlers, led by Chief Geronimo and lasting 4 years to conclude beyond his mandate, on September 4, 1886, when the surviving Apaches surrendered to General Nelson Miles. Photographic portrait by Charles Milton Bell (1848 – 1893), USA, 19th century.
