The Darkhorse or When Presidents Weren't Socialist Windbags

Remember this man? That's right, its James K. Polk. He was unpopular because of a war....with Mexico! He literally commanded US troops to invade Mexico (and congress overwhelmingly support the declaration). We did invade, captured Mexico City, and then....inexplicably gave it back. But not after acquiring HALF of Mexico's land mass (granted, we could have had it all). The ole Darkhorse had the right idea on how to deal with illegal immigration.

Look at all the land we took! Awesome!

Oh, and he tried to buy Cuba from Spain, and was actually successful in running the British out of our Northwest corner, now known as the States of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.

More land for us, Huzzah!
