When you're teaching expansionism, Mexican American War, Oregon Territory, the administration of the 11th president of the USA, James K Polk, you might find (and your students will enjoy) this history song helpful in getting down in a fun way the main facts about this moment in American history.

James K. Polk is one of the best presidents of all time

James Polk will be rememebered for the Mexican American War and the expansion of the country's territory. And an equally important note: He is the man of business in the front, party in the back! He is the man that pioneered the mullet, a great and versatile haircut when done right!
