Today's Historical Quote from Our Flag
... on the anniversary of President Polk recommending Americans move aggressively west - became known as "Manifest Destiny" ...
"It is of great importance to our country generally,
and especially to our navigating and whaling interests,
that the Pacific Coast and, indeed,
the whole of our territory west of the Rocky Mountains,
should speedily be filled up by a hardy and patriotic population."
- James Polk, 11th U.S. President
