<span>It is thought to have been the reason why Polk won the election over Clay. Polk was a slave owner and was in favor of annexing Texas which was a slave state already, thus growing the slavery movement. Clay was initially against annexing Texas when Van Buren was initially running against him. When Polk ended up winning the nomination for the Democratic party over Van Buren, Clay then changed his mind on the topic of the annexation to support it, as Polk had. This made him appear wishy-washy and led to be Polk becoming President.</span>

Well, here is a hint. Anything ending in (.com) is not usually trustworthy, because they are usually trying to sell something, or are just not accurate. (.gov) is trust worthy I guess, but they are telling you what you want to hear. (WIKI IS NOT TRUSTWORTHY AT ALL) (.edu) would be the best, or (.org)
