Polk, like most Americans in the nineteenth century, favored westward expansion and believed that settlers were destined to move across North America. As president, he acquired more than a million square miles of territory for the United States, in part by fomenting the Mexican-American War. As one of the most consequential presidents in American history, the vast expansion of territory opened up the question of slavery\u00e2\u0080\u0099s future, an issue that sparked conflict during the period leading up to the Civil War. Driven and determined, Polk took office with a limited agenda, accomplished all of it, and left office, as he planned, after only one term."}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "11o presidente, 1845\u00e2\u0080\u00931849"}, {"label": "Exhibition Label", "content": "La vida y la carrera de James K.
