Banner Banners Candidate Candidates Dallas Democratic Election Elections Knox Onward Polk Presidential Press Mifflin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the electrifying atmosphere of the 1844 United States presidential election, with Democratic candidates James K. Polk and George Mifflin Dallas waving to their supporters as they march forward under the Grand, National, Democratic Banner. The banner, emblazoned with the words "Press Onward," symbolizes the determination and unwavering spirit of the Democratic Party during this pivotal moment in American history. James K. Polk, a native of North Carolina, was a seasoned military veteran and a strong advocate for Manifest Destiny, the belief that Americans were destined to expand their territory from coast to coast. Dallas, a Pennsylvanian, served as Polk's vice president and later became the 11th President of the United States himself. The 1844 election was a hotly contested race between the Democratic Party and the Whig Party, with issues such as states' rights, tariffs, and the expansion of slavery at the forefront of the campaign. The Democratic Party, led by Polk and Dallas, ultimately emerged victorious, with Polk winning the election and becoming the 11th President of the United States. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the outcome of a presidential election held the potential to shape the course of American history. The determination and resolve of the Democratic candidates, as evidenced by the "Press Onward" banner, served as a rallying cry for their supporters and a testament to the enduring spirit of American democracy.
