James K. Polk’s ascension to the White House was a pivotal moment in propelling the US towards civil war, and the 1844 election expanded the vigorous campaigning that had been growing since 1824. Mark Cheathem examines the transition from traditional political issues, such as banking and tariffs, to newer ones, like immigration and slavery.
