The Supreme Court is the highest court in the land
James K Polk is one of the historical figures that is really hard to judge by modern standards.
He was a forceful man with strongly held beliefs. He was the last in the line of "Jacksonian Presidents" with all of the baggage that came along with that.
Ultimately, he was a strong war time President. His single term in office led to the short lived Presidency of Zachary Taylor, who was significantly less informed and forceful than Polk. After Polk, the issue of slavery really came to the forefront. Polk was either responsible for delaying the prominence of this issue or just got lucky. It is likely that history would look much differently if Polk had a second term and continued his aggressive posture towards America's future.
I'd say he was a good President, for his time, who strongly acted on the economy and in regards to Mexico but whose record looks abysmal by modern standards and values.
The social incentives were that nobody wanted war anymore, people were sick of war and wanted peace. The political were tied to the social - politicians did what the people wanted to gain popularity points. The economic incentives were that peace time and relief efforts were less costly than war.
Before 1898, Spain had had the colony of the Philippines for a long time. However, after the Spanish-American war, it gave that colony over to the United States, which caused it to get politically involved with the Philippines.
Therefore, the answer would be the Spanish-American War.
