James K. Polk was the 11th President of the United States, serving from 1845 to 1849. Born in North Carolina on November 2, 1795, he was a Democrat and the first "dark horse" presidential candidate to win election. Before his presidency, Polk served in the U.S. House of Representatives and as Governor of Tennessee. His administration oversaw significant territorial expansion: he resolved the Oregon boundary dispute with Britain, leading to U.S. acquisition of the Pacific Northwest, and initiated the Mexican-American War (1846–1848), which resulted in American gains of present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. He also facilitated the annexation of Texas in 1845. Polk pledged to serve only one term and kept that promise, declining to seek reelection. He died on June 15, 1849, shortly after leaving office.
