Correspondence of James K. Polk Vol 14, April 1848-June 1849: Volume 14

by James K. Polk

The final volume of the Correspondence of James K. Polk documents the end of a presidency and the end of a life. With the Mexican War over, Polk focused on integrating new lands into the country, resolving discord over slavery, and planning for a retirement that proved all too short. His letters of April 1848 to June 1849 reveal his and his contemporaries' thoughts on a nation racing from an international conflict toward a civil war.
