James Polk is a very underrated President. He went into office and achieved every goal he went for. He also is the President that turned the United States from a sea to shining sea country. In an era of bad Presidents between Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, James Polk was definitely a diamond in the rough!
Polk is the ideal President, set out to achieve 4 goals, & once he did that, he had a "drop the mic" moment & gracefully walked off the stage. Sadly he had the shortest postpresidential retirement, lived for 3 months.
Have big copper , bronze token JAMES POLK 1845, 1849 LARGE AS SILVER DOLLAR, BIG INSCRIP, ON REVERSE GOV TENN, SPKR OF HOUSE, ANNEXED CALIFORNIA, NEW MEXICO AND NORTHWEST TERRITORIES, ..... GOES ON COULD YOU TELL ME ANY THING ABOUT THIS TOKEN ? THANKS.
Somewhat sugar-coated overview of yet another slave-owning US president - at least they told some of the horrid things he and his wife did when we visited the home.

Polk was the kind of President that many Presidents should aspire to be
Aspire my ass
Best 1 term president ever!
U think so?
Agreed to your comment.

You left the part out about him owning hundreds of human beings.
Very interesting !!!
He was born and lived for 11 years in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina and that property still is there.
He was my 5th grt grandfather.
I'm actually related to James K Polk for real no joke and I live in Columbia to.
👍. Polk would have known not to try to start an interference engine without the belt on it😂
Interestingly the 3 Presidents from Tennessee were born in (or near) North Carolina.
I am kin to Polk
Hahaha Really???
I think they should put him and his wife at his house
