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.
Are you referring to the mayflower?

Explanation: To me, this message is about the right Americans and others should have to the freedom of their own speech. (AKA being able to speak freely without judgement or somebody stopping them) And how to protect that act.
Well, a large reason is that England was a bit of a special case. Their monarch had a huge civil war which they lost, and so he was forced to accept terms of surrender, which formed the Magna Carta, outlining how the British constitutional monarchy was to be formed as opposed to a fully reigning absolute monarch.
