One prominent figure who was not directly involved in California's independence from Mexico is James K. Polk, the 11th President of the United States. Although his administration played a significant role in the events leading to the Mexican-American War and the annexation of California, he did not participate in the actual independence movement. Instead, Polk's focus was on territorial expansion, ultimately resulting in California becoming a U.S. territory after the war concluded in 1848.
