Answer 1

The reasons settlers were attracted to the Oregon Country include:

• The Oregon Country offered an abundance of open fields for farming.
• The Oregon Country offered fertile soil along the Pacific coast.
• The Oregon Country consisted of mild temperatures throughout the year.

The statement that "The Oregon Country was dryer than the East Coast and Great Plains" is not entirely accurate, as the Oregon Country, particularly along the coast, is known for its higher precipitation levels. Settlers were more attracted to the fertile land and favorable agricultural conditions.
