Back on my shit....watching a documentary on the Mexican-American War and painting Votann. #WarhammerCommunity #Warhammer40k #LeaguesofVotann #JamesKPolk
Helping secure #slavery in the US, #JohnTyler arranged a treaty with the #RepublicOfTexas for annexation. It was signed by #JamesKPolk on #ThisDayInHistory in 1845. He then stationed troops at its claimed border, which was legally Mexican territory, prompting war the next year.
In a #StateOfTheUnion message on #ThisDayInHistory in 1845, #JamesKPolk called for the United States to expand aggressively to the west. This came of an ideology of #ManifestDestiny -- an explicitly #WhiteSupremacist #Christian vision of racial destiny. See, e.g., #JosiahStrong.
James K. Polk (1845-1849)
🔥Manifest Destiny on STEROIDS – Added California, Texas, Oregon & more (1.2M sq miles!)
🔥Won the Mexican-American War in 2 years
🔥Cut tariffs, created Treasury system
