Lieutenant general Leonidas Polk nepatril between popredných vojvodcov občianskej the army. His vojenskú career nezdobia great víťazstva and my position won before thanks blízkemu priateľstvu with prezidentom konfederácie Jeffersonom Davisom, as a successful command in combat. On the contrary, mal behind lots of serious misconduct, for which would dôstojníka without political konexií a long time ago got rid of velenia. About his osobnostných qualities veľa svedčí aj the fact that in novembri 1861 I rezignovať, len from dôvodu, that bol podriadený general Albert Johnston, ktorý bol during štúdii at West Pointe his spolužiakom.
Bol responsible aj as one of the najväčších chýb on začiatku the war, when vtiahol with the army on územie, the state of Kentucky, who declared neutrality. Zákonodárny choir Kentucky, as the answer to intrusion konfederačných troops požiadal of protection federálnej army. Zoznam his successful veliteľských mission is really poverty-stricken. His political contacts, however, udržali vo veliacich funkciách. In the summer of 1864 took velenie 3. armádneho corps, podriadeného the Army of the Tennessee, ktorej velil general Joe Johnston. His choir it belonged to the units, ktoré sa márne tried to stop this thing víťazný procedure general Sherman on Atlanta. The day 14. June 1864, general Polk spoločne so a group of high dôstojníkov, medzi ktorými boli aj general Hardee and Johnston have observed bojisko far mestečka Marietta, Georgia.
The group dôstojníkov konfederácie bol upozornený general Sherman, who immediately gave veliteľovi his IV. corps general Oliver Howard, gave your delostreleckým batériam, preniesť paľbu to miest, kde boli spozorovaná group konfederačných veliteľov. Fire cover up the robbery donútil dôstojníkov konfederácie rozptýliť sa and urýchlene opustiť dangerous miesto. This is zo striel however zasiahla just general Polka and takmer tore his body into two parts. Although wasn't successful generálom, in the army was comparatively populárny. General Polk was buried in the town Augusta (štát Georgia) under the oltárom miestneho kostola. In 1945 his pozostatky preniesli to New Orleans. His meno nesie základňa US ARMY Fort Polk in Louisiana.
