Forty-ninth Parallel
One of the states formed from the Oregon Country is Oregon itself. Oregon was established as a state in 1859 as part of the Compromise of 1850, splitting from the larger Oregon Territory. The territory was initially jointly occupied by the United States and Britain until a boundary was established at the 49th parallel in the Oregon Treaty of 1846, paving the way for Oregon's statehood.

The northern boundary of Oregon territory was parallel 54° north. At the time, a treaty called for the joint occupation of this territory by both American and British settlers. More and more Americans began to settle there, however, during the 1840s in a bout of "Oregon fever." James K. Polke, the largely unknown presidential candidate and democrat, recognized the potential of reigning in this movement for his purposes. He thus advocated expansion that would encompass California, Texas, and all of Oregon territory, running on a slogan of "fifty-four forty or fight!"

The Midwest was part of the Louisiana Territory purchased from France. Mexico refused to sell the American Southwest, but the US forced them to sell after a three-year war. The Oregon Territory (Oregon and Washington State) were disputed and jointly administered by the US and Great Britain, but after negotiation the British and the US split Oregon Territory in approximately in half along the 49th parallel, most of the modern day border between the US and Canada.
