Governor of Tennessee
Jackson's retirement was followed by a crippling economic downturn, the Panic of 1837, which many blamed on Jackson's fiscal policy. That, and Jackson's absence from public life, had weakened his party in his home state of Tennessee. In 1835 the Jacksonian Democratic Party had lost the governorship for the first time in the party's history. Polk seemed to be the only potential candidate who could win it back for them. Consequently, Polk resigned from Congress and in 1839 ran for governor of Tennessee. After a vigorous campaign, in which he spoke throughout the state, he was elected. As governor, Polk spent much of his time revitalizing the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, his victory in 1839 had greatly impressed Democratic leaders throughout the nation, and even though he lost the elections for governor in 1841 and 1843, he had become a national figure and a potential candidate for the vice presidency in 1844.

    United Church of Christ Keep in mind that in the table above, the % of the U.S. population for religious groups are current figures. Religious groups have had much different proportions at various time in U.S. history. One of the most over-represented religious groups among U.S. presidents is Unitarianism. Despite merging with Universalism in the 1960s, the combined proportion of Unitarian Universalists in the U.S. population is just 0.2% of the population (one in every 500 Americans). Yet there have been 4 Unitarian presidents. Another over-represented religious group among U.S. presidents is Dutch Reformed, by virtue of having two U.S. presidents, yet having only a small number of people left in the country who identify themselves as Reformed. The contemporary heir to the Dutch Reformed churches is the "Reformed Church in America," which has about 300,000 members in the U.S. and Canada. (Alternatively, one might count only a single president as Dutch Reformed, if Theodore Roosevelt is counted as an Episcopalian sources differ on this subject . Even just one Dutch Reformed president would constitute statistical over-representation.) After that, Disciples of Christ, Episcopalians, and Quakers have also had representation in the White House far outstripping their proportion of the U.S. population.

    (b. Nov. 2, 1795, Mecklenburg County, N.C., U.S.d. June 15, 1849, Nashville, Tenn.), 11th president of the United States (1845-49). Under his leadership the United States fought the Mexican War (1846-47) and acquired vast territories along the Pacific coast and in the Southwest.
    Early life and career.
    At the age of 11 Polk accompanied his family to Tennessee, where his father operated a prosperous farm in Maury County. Though ill health made formal schooling impossible during his childhood, at the age of 20 he successfully passed the entrance requirements for the second-year class of the University of North Carolina. He was "correct, punctual, and industrious," and as a graduating senior in 1818 he was the Latin salutatorian of his classthe preeminent scholar in both the classics and mathematics. After graduation he returned to Tennessee and began to practice law in Nashville. His interest in politics, which had fascinated him even as a young boy, was encouraged by his association with leading public figures in the state. In 1820 he was admitted to the bar. Because he was a confirmed Democrat and an unfailing supporter of Andrew Jackson and because his style of political oratory became so popular that he was characterized as the "Napoleon of the stump," his political career was assured. His rapid rise to political power was furthered by his wife, Sara Childress Polk (1803-91), whom he married Jan. 1, 1824, while serving in the state house of representatives (1823-25). The social prominence of her family and her personal charm were distinct assets for a politically ambitious lawyer. As an official hostess she won the admiration and esteem of the leading figures of the day, and for 25 years she was her husband's close companion in state and national politics.

    James K. Polk
    James Knox Polk was born in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, the eldest of 10 children. His family moved to Tennessee in 1806. Despite ill health and little formal schooling in his early years, Polk managed to graduate from the University of North Carolina with honors in 1818. He studied law under Felix Grundy, the leading lawyer in Nashville, then began practice on his own in 1820. He quickly turned to politics and was elected to the state legislature in 1823. In 1825 Polk was elected to the House of Representatives from Tennessee and served in Congress until 1839, the last four years as Speaker. Polk was a leader of the Jacksonian loyalists and was especially helpful to the president during the Bank War. Democrats took much of the blame for the depression that followed the Panic of 1837 . Polk returned to Tennessee and was elected governor in 1839, but was defeated in two succeeding elections. Polk emerged as the dark horse Democratic candidate in the Election of 1844 , edging out Henry Clay . The campaign was dominated by two expansionist issues — the annexation of Texas and the occupation of Oregon. Polk as president surprised many by his independence and hard work. He announced four goals for his administration:
