"Polk compromised on the border of Oregon instead of taking the entire area."

Polk had many successes (lowered the tariff, reestablished the independent treasury, and acquired Texas, New Mexico, and California), but he settled for the 49th parallel in the Oregon dispute rather than securing all of Oregon ("54°40' or fight").
