During James K. Polk's presidency, territorial expansion and foreign trade led to the domestic issues of slavery and tariff levels. To deal with the financial problems that arose, Polk initiated the Walker Tariff of 1846 and the Independent Treasury Act of of 1846. To deal with the issue of slavery in new territories, in 1846, the Wilmot Proviso was created and attempted to pass but did not. Polk mostly worked on Westward expansion.
