In the 1920s Western powers began to expand their influence in the Middle East primarily due to the fact that oil was becoming an increasingly important good and they know that without oil they would be doomed while at the same time the Middle east had plenty of oil.
The best description of the historical impact of James K. Polk's presidency would have to that he expanded the United States to the Pacific Ocean. As the 11th president, Polk believed in
manifest destiny, a popular idea in the United States during the 1800s. Polk and others like him believed that the country should expand its boundaries to the Pacific Ocean, and that this was our nation's fate. Early during his presidency, Polk annexed Texas in 1845 and made Oregon part of the United States in 1846. After this, Polk was determined to gain California and New Mexico territories from Mexico to guarantee clear passage to the Pacific Ocean. Polk saw California and New Mexico as rightfully belonging to the United States. After provoking a war with Mexico in 1846, the United States gained the Mexican Cession in 1848. The Mexican Cession relinquished the provinces of California and New Mexico to the United States in exchange for $15 million dollars. The continental United States was nearly complete at the end of Polk's single term in office, which is his primary legacy.

The geographer, (under whose direction the surveyors shall act) shall occasionally form such regulations for their conduct, as he shall deem necessary; and shall have authority to suspend them for misconduct in office, and shall make report of the same to Congress or to the Committee of the States; and he shall make report in case of sickness, death, or resignation of any surveyor.
The surveyors as they are respectively qualified shall proceed to divide the said territory into townships of six miles square, by lines running due north and south, and others crossing these at right angles, unless where the boundaries of the late Indian purchases may render the same impracticable, and then they shall depart from this rule no farther than such particular circumstances may require.
