You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Everyone, very excited to announce that on the Patreon right now, we have the second installment of our series on Chester Arthur, the 21st President of the United States, who was something relevant for these times?

A fired federal office worker.

Well, suspended and then replaced, but, you know, you catch the drift.

But seriously, folks, we're going to talk about Chester Arthur from how he goes from his Civil War days to the collector of the port of New York, which doesn't sound like much today, but it's a post that originates from Alexander Hamilton's design from the early days of the Republic,

and it has become, by the 19th century, the most important patronage position, you might say,

the most important sort of finance center for American politics.

When he's removed from that position, it has very little to do with his own performance,

which newspapers and accounts of the time say it was great and everything to do with

politics and particularly a vicious fight within the Republican Party at the time of the

19th century. We talk about all of that and we talk about Arthur's friend, boss, however you

want to call it, Roscoe Conkley, the senator from New York, his story, and everything that happens with that.

It looks like it's going to be a four-part series for those who subscribe on the Patreon.

Thank you for those who have been able to.

You'll also get other content.

We take a look at Desert One, the operation to rescue the hostages in 1980.

We take a look at Neville Chamberlain and his Munich meeting.

We take a look at the 1864 election and other things, other content that's only available to those on the

patrons, plus ad-free episodes, which I know you'll like. So consider it. www. MyHistory
