Hate and fear on the part of Polk is quite unlikely. They were of different political persuasions and Taylor was a loyal and obedient officer who served President Polk well in the Mexican American War. Polk was true to his pledge and did not seek a second term as President, and Taylor used his popularity gained in the Mexican American War as a route to the White House.
