President James K. Polk

James K. Polk was the 11th President of the United States from 1845 to 1849, the last strong pre-Civil War president.Created by: PICRYL - Public Domain Media Search EngineDated: 2016
James K. Polk, Union Course, L.I., Friday, Oct. 15, 1847 / lith and pub. by N. Currier.
Polk was born in North Carolina. He later lived in and represented Tennessee. A Democrat, Polk served as the Speaker of the House of Representatives and Governor of Tennessee. Polk was the dark horse candidate for president in 1844, defeating Henry Clay of the rival Whig Party by promising to annex the Republic of Texas.
Under President Polk vast areas were added to the United States. During his 1845–49 presidency, Polk led the nation to a victory in the Mexican–American War, seizing nearly the whole of what is now the American Southwest. He threatened war with the United Kingdom over the issue of Oregon Country ownership, eventually reaching a settlement in which the British were made to sell the portion that became the Oregon Territory.
He built a treasury system that lasted until 1913, oversaw the opening of the U.S. Naval Academy and of the Smithsonian Institution, the groundbreaking for the Washington Monument, and the issuance of the first United States postage stamp.
True to his campaign pledge to serve only one term as President, Polk left office and returned to Tennessee in March 1849. He died of cholera three months later.
"One great object of the Constitution was to restrain majorities from oppressing minorities or encroaching upon their just rights."
