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.

Why was Romulus Augustulus not a competent ruler?
koban [17]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Augustulus was a teenager when he became a ruler in AD 475. He only lasted 10 months because he was 'disposed of' in AD 476. When Augustulus took power the empire was already pretty much ruined by previous rulers. His subjects did not respect him because he was way to young to take over an entire population of people. At the end of the day his father oversaw his politics advising him along the way.

Here is more information on Romulus Augustulus. Good luck.

What is a reason ww2 ended the great depression
joja [24]
Hey there! Let's get your answer!

12 million Americans were sent into the military, and a similar number toiled in defense-related jobs. Those war<span> jobs seemingly took care of the 17 million unemployed in 1939.

So, a shortened answer would be: 

When people left for the armed forces to fight, many job opportunities became available for the unemployed. 

I hope this helps! Have a good day!
