Why did American settlers out number British settlers in Oregon country?
American settlers outnumbered British settlers in Oregon Country primarily due to the influx of settlers along the Oregon Trail in the 1840s and 1850s, driven by the promise of fertile land and the concept of Manifest Destiny. The U.S. government's promotion of westward expansion, along with economic opportunities and the allure of a fresh start, attracted many Americans. In contrast, British settlement was more limited, focusing on fur trading and maintaining strategic interests rather than mass migration. As a result, the American population in Oregon grew significantly, leading to their eventual dominance in the region.
Where did the american settlers move in the 1830s and the 1840's?
In the 1830s and 1840s, American settlers moved westward, significantly to territories such as Texas, Oregon, and California.
