This outro has an unintentional yet stark lie in it. As a historian I can attest that Polk is detested by a vast and diverse throng of the population.

It wasn't that Polk didn't address the slavery question he couldn't. The growth of cotton plantations between 1795 and 1845 was the center of economy of the USA. Cotton fed the Northern mills and cotton was our #1 export. Cotton caused the growth of slavery and cotton caused the westward expansion to Texas. Polk owned his own cotton plantation and since 1810, when imported slaves stopped, breeding and trading like wasn't seen in 1700's became how slavery was conducted. Polk speculated in slave trading. The south went from a society with Slaves to a slave society.

James K Polk is the president I have always had an affinity for ever since 4th Grade. We had a class project where everyone was given a different president at random and he was the president I was given. We had to color their portrait, write a biography about them and highlight some of their accomplishments while in office. Ever since then I always perk up when he is mentioned and listen more attentively when his presidency is discussed. I’m probably one of the foremost James K Polk fans in the world lol 😅.

The slavery issue needs to stop. Christ, everyone had slaves. For 10,000 years plus. The west were the first to put an end to it. No one else but the west keeps punishing ourselves for it. 10,000 plus years of something being normal doesn’t just end without conflict.

Keeping bold promises. Sounds like Trump. Polk, McKinley and Trump I wager are and will be the most underrated of all presidents, if you care about a sovereign and powerful republic.

Polk is known for being the definition of an imperialist. He literally stole the land from Mexico. That's not to defend Santa Anna, who was also an insolent warlord, but just as imperialism goes, Polk is the literal definition.
