James K. Polk
Although most people don’t remember James K. Polk, the 11th President of the United States, he was very successful during his presidency. He accomplished all he set out to do, including acquiring three US territories, resolving a border issue with Texas, decreasing tariffs, strengthening the executive branch, and more. Polk was photographed in 1849.
