Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are three key reasons why James K. Polk deserves recognition as a significant and influential American president," Polk biographer, Walter Borneman, wrote. "First, Polk accomplished the objectives of his presidential term as he defined them; second, he was the most decisive chief executive before the Civil War; and third, he greatly expanded the executive power of the presidency, particularly its war powers, its role as commander-in-chief, and its oversight of the executive branch." President Harry S. Truman summarized this view by saying that Polk was "a great president. Said what he intended to do and did it."The ramifications of Polk's presidency resound down to our own day. The most controversial action he took was the invasion of Mexico. Criticism by a young congressman by the name of Abraham Lincoln's hurt Lincoln's re-election to the congress. It was a war that saw action by Robert E. Lee, Ulysses S. Grant, and many others who would later fight in the Civil War. Polk's decision is still debated on ethical grounds. Grant later wrote, "I was bitterly opposed to the [Texas annexation], and to this day regard the war, which resulted, as one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation."Polk was a fervent believer in Manifest Destiny and is the president considered most influential in expanding the U.S. across the continent. He was a lifelong slave-holder and was considered by abolitionists to be a tool of the pro-slavery powers.

I told him to inform them that I would accompany them at such hour on to-morrow as they might designate. He returned and informed me that 9 O'Clock in the morning had been appointed by the Regents. This was reception evening. A number of persons called, and among them the Vice President of the U. S., Senator Evans1 of Maine, Mr. Choate2 of Mass., Hon. R. Rush of Phila., and Hon. Mr. Pennybacker of Va., Regents of the Smithsonian Institute. Wednesday, Qth September, 1846.-- At 9 O'clock this morning, accompanied by the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, & the Atto. Gen'l, I rode out in my carriage to meet the Regents of the Smithsonian Institute on the Public grounds lying West of the Capitol and South of the President's House, with a view to locate the site of that Institution. I met the Regents on the grounds, and spent nearly an hour with them on foot in examining the grounds. Opinions were freely expressed. The most elevated ground and, as I think, the most eligible site lies between 12th & 14th Street containing about 32 acres. If more space be required the ground West of 14th Street may be added, which contains about 45 acres. If this be added the whole area would contain about 77 acres. Most of the Regents expressed a preference for this location. Mr. W. W. Seaton, the Mayor of Washington, who is ex officio one of the Regents, earnestly urged that the location should be made West of 12th Street & between that street and the Capitol grounds. This is a lower situation than that West of it, and in no sense, as it strikes me, so eligible. I have heard from private sources that the property holders in the vicinity of the Centre market were exceedingly anxious for their private benefit to have the location...
