Even without the slavery issue, Polk is a war criminal who started a war of aggression against Mexico. That was obvious even as it happened. Too many people forgive Polk, wrongly thinking that invading another country for no reason was acceptable behavior back then. It wasn't. It was more common but educated people still had the common sense to know it was wrong. Both Abraham Lincoln and John Quincy Adams condemned the Mexican War as the travesty it was.
