Chester A. Arthur birthplace
Dracion12, I saw that you recently attempted to add information on Arthur's possible Canadian birth and was reverted. Your argument was that it wasn't mentioned in the article and should be included.

A - It is in the article. There are details in the "Birth and family" section.

B - As I believe the references and notes very clearly show, Arthur was definitely born in Vermont, not Quebec.

To believe that Arthur was born in Canada, you have to believe that he lied about being born in Vermont for his entire life before the 1880 election and that his parents lied before him by entering a Vermont birth in their family Bible. But Arthur had no reason to lie. The only thing being born in Canada would have possibly affected was his eligibility to serve as president - and maybe not even that. But no one in the world, including Arthur himself, had any reason to think before 1880 that he might possibly become president. He simply had no motive to spend his entire life before 1880 falsely claiming to be born in Vermont. He was definitely born there.
