James K. Polk Poem
The Presidential Poem Series Continues
Polk Led the country into war.
Unlike those who went before,
Do you know what that war was for?
Most people don't, anymore.
Unlike those who went before,
Do you know what that war was for?
Most people don't, anymore.
He expanded the country to the west
And the war that we remember best
Got one more cause, and that's no jest.
Should those states be slave or free?
They asked the courts, they didn't ask me
And the compromise of 1850
Was not one to which anyone could agree.
