James K Polk has the shortest retirement of any us president with only 3 months followed by Chester A Arthur and George Washington Also the shortest lived president that didn’t die in office

[@gediminassavas9823]

Did you made John Tyler? I WANT TO SEE IT!

[@spqr6291]

Polk should have lived longer. When Pierce gathered 4 former presidents(Van Buren,Tyler,Fillmore,Buchanan) to discuss about civil war, it would have been successful when Polk was alive.

[@luisvillafane3210]

Last 19th Century President here we go!

[@lonewolfnergiganos4000]

Poor James K. Polk, he died a few months after the end of his presidency. I believe he would've lived even longer if he didn't attracted chloera.

[@TaijanDean]

John Tyler he liked country folk, and after him came President Polk.

​@@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtistwhat's wrong with his mother's age my guy

[@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist]

She was 10 years older by mistake. Poor thing

[@luisvillafane3210]

Why was this video removed in the first place

[@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist]

James Polk's mother requested it. I got her birthday wrong poor girl 🎈

[@bpbdiscobeaks9191]

Now for the 21st century presidents!!! This will be exciting! Especially as I’m more familiar with them!

[@gavinmaverick794]

Is it just me or did this music sound a little epic for the last president to have a life through time, who died 0:36 0:43

[@GlennSkywalker2305]

I do want to ask if the music has been used in past videos and if it did what is it?

[@gavinmaverick794]

It is in the George W Bush ancestors and descendants video

[@lesleygilbert1945]

I'm guessing Polk County Florida got it's name from Mr. James?

[@Roccoditoto]

Finally you finished all the 19th century POTUS. Which are your plans for further videos?

[@JamesFoxTimeTravelArtist]

Plenty of scope to continue with my family tree, timeline and life through time content. I suppose vice president and first lady videos could be another ambitious compilation project. However I'm kinda overloaded with white house related stuff would like to do more of other figures from history

[@LeonelHaydle]

James k. Polk is one of the best presidents of the United States. It was he who expanded the territory as we know it today. But he died three months into his presidency

[@GlennSkywalker2305]

I wouldn’t say he was one of the best

[@jennasotelo166]

He died 3 months AFTER his presidency

[@whyisthislimenow]

I think you meant *three months after his presidency*
