ISBN10: 1576070565, ISBN13: 9781576070567, [publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, Santa Barbara] Hardcover Hardcover. This AZ encyclopedia provides a detailed overview of America's 11th president and connects Polk's public and personal life to his historical significance.In 1844, James K. Polk was not a promising presidential nomineehe was not popular, charismatic, or even well known. But by the time he left office in 1849, he had acquired the enormous Oregon Territory by negotiation and had taken by force more than half of Mexico's territory, an area of about 500,000 square miles.Yet Polk's territorial successes inspired the rancorous debate over whether slavery should be allowed in the new territoriesa debate that ended in civil war. Modern critics charge that Polk's actions toward Mexico were amoral if not immoral. In this comprehensive examination of Polk's life and career, our 11th president emerges as a complex man and a skillful politician who pursued power relentlessly. This A-Z encyclopedia provides a detailed overview of America's 11th president and connects Polk's public and personal life to his historical significance.
