11 President James Knox Polk




James Knox Polk

11th President of the United States

Graphite


President Polk introduced Americans to the prepaid postage stamp, and didn't give much thought to the issue of slavery (probably because he owned 20 people). He worked 12 hour days, only took 27 days off work (take note President Trump) and had actual office hours where any American could drop by.
