The Republican Party By definition, the Republican Party (also referred to as GOP, the ?Great Old Party?) is one of the two major political parties in the United States whose foundation is built on conservatism, focuses on national security, and has an economy led by the people. An economy ?led by the people? means that there is free market and enterprise with little interference from the government. The party dates all the way back to 1854 and was originally made up of northerners to oppose the spread of slavery.

? James Knox Polk POTUS Paper President James Knox Polk was an extremely influential figure in American history. Polk played a key role in the expansion of the United States with his brilliant tactics. Polk?s four point plan, Walker Tariff, and war with Mexico successfully helped the union expand and economically prosper. Polk?s four point plan consisted of four major ideas: passing a tariff that would be acceptable in the north and south, organizing the nation?s financial systems, settle the Oregon boundary, and acquiring California. This ingenious plan helped the nation expand and the tariff was a large source of revenue which organized the financial systems successfully. The plan was quite successful.
