Polk served for just one term but accomplished pretty much everything he set out to do. He achieved the "manifest destiny" of extending the US from sea to sea.
Although he asked Congress to declare war, it was a short and winnable war and solved the Texas and California boundary questions to US satisfaction. He negotiated a peaceful and lasting settlement with Britain over the Oregon territory.
