あらすじ・解説
Discover the remarkable life of James K. Polk...
James K. Polk, the 11th president of the United States, played a pivotal role in shaping the nation. Many presidents might be given such a description, but for James Polk, it was more or less a case of manifest destiny. It was Polk who led the charge to expand the United States from sea to shining sea. Under his watch, both the northwestern border with Canada as well as the southwestern border with Mexico were put in place. Polk, in fact, launched a bloody war with the latter, resulting in the annexation of a huge swathe of territory, including present-day California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming. This territorial expansion fundamentally reshaped the nation’s landscape and set the stage for its emergence as a global power.
As dynamic as his public life was, Polk’s personal life was fairly subdued. He and his wife Sarah never had children, lived a rather quiet life, and retired into obscurity after his presidency came to a close. This book follows the life and legacy of James K. Polk in full. It examines how a man of humble beginnings and strong convictions rose to the nation’s highest office at a pivotal time in history.
