In the presidential election of 1844 the Whig Party nominated Henry Clay of Kentucky. Clay refused to take a stand on the annexation of Texas. The Democrats rejected former president Martin Van Buren, who opposed annexation, and nominated James K. Polk of Tennessee. Polk ran on a pro-annexation platform: He would annex Texas, and he would assert American ownership of all of Oregon s territory disputed with Britain. Polk s position on Oregon was intended to reassure Northerners that expansion would benefit them as well as the South.
(To that end, he later advocated the annexation of Oregon to offset the South's acquisition of Texas.) His speech was actually in support of his own resolution which included President VanBuren's objection that the U.S. government lacked the Constitutional power to annex another nation (short of an amendment).
