第一位「黑馬」總統候選人 The First "Dark Horse" Presidential Candidate

詹姆斯波爾克以贊成國土擴張方向的候選人立場做出回應,波爾克藉由納入奧勒岡州這個廢除黑奴政策的州、避開了增加保有黑奴傳統的德州所帶來的麻煩。

您知道為什麼波爾克在1844年民主黨總統候選人的提名中被稱為「黑馬」嗎?

James Polk responded by becoming the candidate in favor of national territorial expansion. Polk avoided trouble over his desire to annex Texas (which would become a slave state) by proposing to add Oregon as a free state.

Do you know why Polk was called the "dark horse" as the Democratic nominee in 1844?
