Arthur, along with a few other young supporters of the ‘Whig’ even revolted against those who supported ex-American president James Polk. Arthur also earned the reputation of being a great lawyer during his career which lasted more than 3 decades. One of his prominent achievements was bringing justice to a black woman by name Elizabeth, who was discriminated in New York.
