Methodist and Presbyterian missionaries established settlements.

Explanation: Those missionary settlements were largely American (e.g., Jason Lee, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman) and were used to support U.S. claims to Oregon. Britain’s claims rested on exploration (Drake, Cook) and the presence of English fur traders/Hudson’s Bay Company.
