Document 2
Source: George Washington, letter to Robert Orme, aide-de-camp to General Edward
Braddock, March 15, 1755.
It is true Sir, that I have… expressed an Inclination to serve the ensuing Campaigne as a
Volunteer; and this inclination is not a little increased since it is likely to be conducted by
a Gentleman of the General’s Experience. But, besides this and the laudable desire I may
have to serve (with my best abilities) my king and country, I must be ingenuous enough
to confess, that I am not a little biased by selfish considerations. To be plain, Sir, I wish
earnestly to attain some knowledge of the Military Profession: and, believing a more
favourable opportunity cannot offer, than to serve under a Gentleman of General
Braddock’s abilities and experience.

I sincerely regret that in the act before me I can perceive none of those modifications of the bank
charter which are necessary, in my opinion, to make it compatible with justice, with sound policy,
or with the Constitution of our country. : . . The present Bank of the United States . . . enjoys an
exclusive privilege of banking, . . . almost a monopoly of the foreign and domestic exchange.
It appears that more than a fourth part of the stock is held by foreigners and the residue is held by a
few hundred of our own citizens, chiefly of the richest class.
Of the twenty-five directors of this bank five are chosen by the Government and twenty by the citizen
stockholders. . . . It is easy to conceive that great evils to our country and its institutions might
flow from such a concentration of power in the hands of a few men irresponsible to the people.
Is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it
to our country?
It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their selfish
purposes.
Document 4 Source: President James K. Polk's Message to Congress, December 2, 1845.
Oregon is a part of the North American continent, to which . . . the title of the United States is the
best now in
existence. The British proposition of compromise, which would make the Columbia [River] the line
south of 49"
. . . and would leave on the British side two-thirds of the whole Oregon Territory, including the free
navigation
of the Columbia and all the valuable harbors on the Pacific, can never for a moment be entertained by
the
United States without an abandonment of their just and clear territorial rights, their own self-respect,
and the
national honor.
