This site is located on land once owned by the parents of James K. Polk, the 11th U.S. president. The memorial commemorates significant events in the Polk administration: the Mexican War, settlement of the Oregon boundary dispute, and the annexation of California. Reconstructions of typical homestead buildings—a log house, separate kitchen, and barn—are authentically furnished. The Visitor Center features a film on Polk's life and civic contributions. ". . . it was here . . . that I spent near three years of my life. It was here that I received lessons of instructions to which I mainly attribute whatever of success or advancement has attended me in subsequent life." James K. Polk
upon his return to the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, 1847
Born in 1795 on the 250-acre farm worked by his parents, Jane and Samuel, James Knox Polk spent most of his childhood among the gently rolling hills of Mecklenburg County. A memorial to our nation's 11th president is located on part of these lands. The log buildings and their furnishings are not original to the Polk homestead but are period pieces that date from the early 1800s. When James was 11, the family sold the homestead and moved west to join James's grandfather in Tennessee. Young James attended academies there, then returned to North Carolina to become an honor student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After graduating in 1818, he traveled back to Tennessee, studied law, and established a practice. In 1824 Polk married Sarah Childress, whose gracious manner and devoted companionship helped further his political career.

James K. Polk Often referred to as the first "dark horse" President, James K. Polk was the last of the Jacksonians to sit in the White House, and the last strong President until the Civil War. He was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, in 1795. Studious and industrious, Polk was graduated with honors in 1818 from the University of North Carolina. As a young lawyer he entered politics, served in the Tennessee legislature, and became a friend of Andrew Jackson. In the House of Representatives, Polk was a chief lieutenant of Jackson in his Bank war. He served as Speaker between 1835 and 1839, leaving to become Governor of Tennessee.

Until circumstances raised Polk's ambitions, he was a leading contender for the Democratic nomination for Vice President in 1844. Both Martin Van Buren, who had been expected to win the Democratic nomination for President, and Henry Clay, who was to be the Whig nominee, tried to take the expansionist issue out of the campaign by declaring themselves opposed to the annexation of Texas. Polk, however, publicly asserted that Texas should be "re-annexed" and all of Oregon "re-occupied."

    7. The Mexican American War
    A detailed thesis of the origins, events and outcomes of the usMexican war, sourced largely from the diary of president james polk.
    http://www.geocities.com/cvallence007/RI335-Assignment.html
    Back to my page RI335 Assignment The Mexican American War Mexican coat of arms commonly worn during the war US coat of arms commonly worn
    during the war Origins of the War Notes to the Professor The origins of the war can be debated endlessly, although most will affirm that the majority of the fault lies with The United States and its expansionistic tendencies. Manifest destiny was a popular doctrine that had been circulating in the US for some time. It involved the belief that Americans had a divine right to bring the western hemisphere under their influence because of their superior level of industry and culture. The western hemisphere was their domain, to be controlled by the US for the well being of all involved. Indeed, before and throughout the duration of the war there were some that actively advocated the annexation of all of Mexico, in the belief that Mexicans could never govern themselves for their own good. Although this philosophy never eventuated, it highlights the sheer arrogance of the American ethos is the attitude to the Mexicans.
    The origin of this border dispute that lead to the commencement of the war was undoubtedly instigated by Polk with the annexation of Texas, resolved by congress in 1844. Mexico still considered Texas to be a breakaway province, and hence the annexation was considered to be an invasion of Mexican territory by the US. The annexation, in effect, transferred the border dispute between Texas and Mexico in to a US Mexican concern, in effect an undeclared war between the two nations.

    President
    James Knox Polk
    Served 1845-1849 James Knox Polk was born November 2, 1795, in Mecklenberg County, North Carolina, on his family's farm. As a boy, Polk dreamed of becoming President and worked hard to achieve his goal. After four years of Whig Party Presidents Harrison and Tyler, Polk ran under the Democratic Party banner in 1844 with George M. Dallas as his Vice President. After his election, he was known for his long and hard hours and for his strict religious beliefs. He and his wife, Sarah Childress, had no children. They did not allow drinking or dancing at the White House, not even in celebration of his inauguration. Polk's campaign slogan was "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight," demanding that Britain cede to the U.S. all territory of the Oregon Country south of latitude 54°40'N, as far north as Queen Charlotte Island and the Dixon Entrance, just south of what is now the southern end of Alaska. Once he became President, however, Polk compromised with Britain, settling the U.S. border with Canada at latitude 49°N and avoiding a war. Polk could not avoid a war with Mexico 1846-1848, however, after Mexican troops captured Alamo and the Republic of Texas pleaded for American intervention.

    • Education and Occupations:
      • Education: Graduated University of North Carolina, 1818. Occupations:
        • Admitted to the Tennessee bar, 1820. Member of Tennessee State Legislature, 1823-1825. Represented Tennessee in U.S. House of Representatives, 1825-1839. Speaker of the House, 1835-1839. Governor of Tennessee, 1839-1841.
        Term of Presidency: 1845-1849 The major issue of the 1844 election was the acquisition of Texas and Oregon and the existence of slavery in these territories. The Democrats, mostly southerners and pro-expansion, chose Polk as their candidate over Van Buren. The Whigs, also for expansion on a less belligerent level yet against slavery, chose Henry Clay as their candidate. Polk's major political opponent was Henry Clay (Whig). Vice Presidents: Goerge M. Dallas Political party: Democrat Major domestic happenings of the Polk administration:
        • James K. Polk becomes 11th President, March 4, 1845. Texas Enters the Union (1845): Signed at the end of Tyler's administration, the resolution annexed all of Texas to the U.S. Mexico, who never recognized Texas' independence, also failed to recognize the annexation. Wilmot Provisio (1846): Proposed by David Wilmot of Pennsylvania, the provisio suggested no slavery in the lands seized from Mexico. Although it didn't make it through both of the houses, the provisio was accepted by all but one of the Northern states, and was the center of a very heated debate.
