James K. Polk – Our Greatest President


I found this great video Kevin Terraciano put together for his history class featuring ‘They Might Be Giants’ singing their song about James K. Polk:

James K. Polk was unpleasant, ruthless, and somewhat evil, but his acquisition of the American Southwest and Oregon territory (California would be the 6th largest economy in the world if it were an independent nation) makes him one of the most influential presidents in U.S. history.
