Author Neil D. Bramwell examines the life of the eleventh president, James K. Polk. As president, Polk set three major goals for his administration, all of which he managed to achieve by the end of his term. First, he lowered the tariff to a level that appealed to both the urban north and rural south. Then he established an independent treasury, and later added almost one million square miles of territory to the United States as a result of the controversial Mexican War.
