False. In 1818, Britain and the U.S. agreed to the convention that established the 49th parallel as the border between U.S. territories and British North America (now Canada) west of the Lake of the Woods. This agreement effectively fixed the boundary but did not extend the American border; it rather defined it more clearly.
