? 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.
