The correct response is: Missionaries and settlers joined the fur traders who went there in earlier years.
Starting in the 1840s, there was a significant increase in American settlement in the Oregon Country, driven in part by the desire for land and the influence of missionaries who promoted the region. This wave of settlers often followed the routes established by earlier fur traders, leading to a more substantial American presence in the area.
