  • James K. Polk: Territorial Expansionist and the Evolution Of
    JAMES K. POLK: TERRITORIAL EXPANSIONIST AND THE EVOLUTION OF PRESIDENTIAL POWER Chris Blubaugh A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2013 Committee: Dr. Scott C. Martin, Advisor Dr. Edmund J. Danziger © 2013 Chris Blubaugh All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Scott C. Martin, Advisor This thesis argues that through President James K. Polk’s leadership style (micro-managing domestic/foreign issues), his understanding of bureaucracy, and dominating his Cabinet, enabled Polk to achieve what his predecessors could not. Furthermore, Polk’s leadership and administrative style foreshadowed, and perhaps provided a precedent for the modern American presidency. To demonstrate Polk’s leadership style, two areas must be examined. First, explain Polk’s keys to success while in office, in particular his leadership style in relation to his policies. President Polk’s direct involvement in domestic and foreign issues enabled him to achieve his four administrative goals: tariff reduction, creation of an Independent Treasury, settlement of the Oregon Territory between the U.S. and England, and acquiring California. For example, he pushed economic legislation in Congress (Independent Treasury), and micro-managed the Mexican War to accomplish territorial objectives. Secondly, examine the departure that President Polk made from previous administrations in regards to administrative skill. Compared to preceding administrations, President Polk was an excellent leader who firmly managed his Cabinet. He consulted his Cabinet on policy questions, but the final decision was his to make. Furthermore, he knew precisely what he wanted to accomplish as president, and he understood the political channels he needed to consult to achieve his goals.

  • Rhea Family Papers 1769-1859
    State of Tennessee Department of State Tennessee State Library and Archives 403 Seventh Avenue North Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0312 RHEA FAMILY PAPERS 1769-1859 (THS Collection) Processed by: Mary Washington Frazer & Gracia Hardacre Archival Technical Services Accession Number: THS 10 Date Completed: March 18, 1966 Location: THS I-D-2 Microfilm Accession Number: 792 MICROFILMED INTRODUCTION These papers of the Rhea family, which immigrated to America in 1769, cover the period, 1769-1859. The Rhea Family papers were given to the Tennessee Historical Society by Anne Rhea Backman Hyde (Mrs. Charles Robert), great-great-granddaughter of the Reverend Joseph Rhea. The materials in this collection measure .84 linear feet. There are no restrictions on the materials. Single photocopies of unpublished writings in the Rhea Family Papers may be made for purposes of scholarly research. SCOPE AND CONTENT The Rhea Family Papers, containing approximately 300 items, cover three generations, 1769-1859. The collection is composed of commissions in the state militia, correspondence, diaries, genealogical data, land records, legal documents (including the will of Matthew Rhea, dated March 8, 1816), maps, school books, and writings. Approximately half of the correspondence is from Congressman John Rhea to his brother, James, in Blountville, Tennessee, and deals with political events during the period 1801-1821. Letters from Andrew Agnew, merchant of Baltimore, comment on trade conditions and prices in 1815; on fears entertained for the fate of “Orleans”; and the “bravery of General Jackson ” and “want of necessary forces” being provided by the Government. The letter of P. Parsons to John Rhea in Congress decries the negligence of Government in preparation for war.
