In the 1800s Marcus and Narcissa Whitman wanted to spread their religion. They headed east and set up missions in Oregon. On their journey, they were helped by mountain men, people who work in the mountains and trade beaver pellets. The mountain men were from England, as England had a few settlements in Oregon. The Whitmans found there was very good farmland there, and more people slowly migrated to Oregon. The Oregon Trail devolepod and eventually so many people were there the US won Oregon from England. I'm talking about the Oregon territory, which includes parts of Washington and Idaho.
