[[File:BH50JKPolk.gif|200px|thumb|right|Namesake of this cup, James K. Polk was the 11<sup>th</sup> President of the United States of America.]]'''James Knox Polk''' (November 2, 1795 – June 15, 1849) was the [[List of Presidents of the United States|11th]] [[President of the United States]] (1845–1849).
Polk was born in [[Mecklenburg County, North Carolina|Mecklenburg County]], [[North Carolina]].<ref>http://www.presidentialavenue.com/jp.cfm#1</ref> He later lived in and represented the state of [[Tennessee]].  A [[History of the United States Democratic Party|Democrat]], Polk served as [[Speaker of the United States House of Representatives|Speaker of the House]] (1835–1839) and [[List of Governors of Tennessee|Governor of Tennessee]] (1839–1841) before becoming president.

A firm supporter of [[Andrew Jackson]], Polk was the last strong pre-[[American Civil War|Civil War]] president.  Polk is noted for his [[foreign policy]] successes. He threatened war with [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|Britain]] then backed away and split the ownership of the [[Pacific Northwest|Northwest]] with Britain.  He is more famous for leading the nation into the [[Mexican–American War]], in which the US was victorious.  He lowered the [[tariff]] and established a treasury system that lasted until 1913.

The expansion reopened a furious national debate over allowing [[slavery]] in the new territories. The controversy was inadequately arbitrated by the [[Compromise of 1850]], and finally found its ultimate resolution on the battlefields of the [[American Civil War|U.S. Civil War]]. Polk signed the [[Walker Tariff]] that brought an era of nearly free trade to the country until 1861. He oversaw the opening of the [[United States Naval Academy|U.S. Naval Academy]] and the [[Smithsonian Institution]], the groundbreaking for the [[Washington Monument]], and the issuance of the first [[postage stamp]]s in the United States, introduced by his [[United States Postmaster General|Postmaster General]] [[Cave Johnson]].

Being satisfied with the accomplishments of his term, he did not seek re-election, and retired as promised.  He died of [[cholera]] three months after his term ended.  Scholars have ranked him favorably on the [[Historical rankings of United States Presidents|list of greatest presidents]] for his ability to set an agenda and achieve all of it.

'''James K. Polk''' was the greatest President in the history of the United States of America as ranked by nobody.  EAT IT, WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, YOU TEETER-TOLLER!
