''State of the Union Addresses'' is a collection of speeches delivered by the 11th President of the United States, James K. Polk, to the United States Congress between 1845 and 1848. These speeches provide a comprehensive overview of the political, social, and economic issues facing the United States during Polk’s presidency, including the annexation of Texas, the Mexican-American War, and the expansion of the country’s territory. Polk’s speeches offer insight into his vision for the country and his efforts to shape American policy during a critical period in its history. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in American history, politics, and government.Though the United States were the aggrieved nation, Mexico commenced the war, and we were compelled in self-defense to repel the invader and to vindicate the national honor and interests by prosecuting it with vigor until we could obtain a just and honorable peace. On learning that hostilities had been commenced by Mexico I promptly communicated that fact, accompanied with a succinct statement of our other causes of complaint against Mexico, to Congress, and that body, by the act of the 13th of May, 1846, declared that ''by the act of the Republic of Mexico a state of war exists between that Government and the United States.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
