James K. Polk moved west as part of his ambition to expand the United States territory, driven by the belief in Manifest Destiny—the idea that Americans were destined to expand across the continent. His presidency (1845-1849) saw the annexation of Texas and the acquisition of Oregon and California through diplomacy and conflict, notably the Mexican-American War. Polk aimed to fulfill these expansionist goals and strengthen the nation economically and politically by securing new lands for settlement and resources.
