DURING THE 1840'S MANY MORE AMERICANS THAN BRITISH SETTLED IN THE OREGON COUNTRY HOW DID THIS INFLUENCE THE NEGOTIATION OVER THE TERRITORY
Ms. Sue
Since the Americans were in the majority, they were able to sway the negotiations about whether this territory would be Canadian or belong to the United States.

During the 1840s, more Americans than British settled in the Oregon Country. How do you think this settlement influenced negotiations with the British over the territory?
