yes! :)
The parallel 54 degrees 40' north was the northern boundary of the Oregon Territory, which was claimed by both the United States and Great Britain in the mid-19th century. This boundary was significant in the context of the Oregon boundary dispute, which was resolved with the Oregon Treaty of 1846. The treaty established the boundary at the 49th parallel, south of 54 degrees 40', thereby granting the U.S. control over the majority of the territory.
The northern boundary was established through a combination of treaties, agreements, and negotiation between countries or regions. For example, treaties like the Oregon Treaty in 1846 between the United States and Britain helped establish the northern boundary of the U.S. along the 49th parallel. Other boundaries were established through colonial agreements, natural geographic features, or historical disputes that were resolved over time.
It is not on a plate boundary. Therefore it may be on hotspot.
Kilauea is not associated with a plate boundary, it and the other Hawaiian volcanoes are the result of a hot spot.
It is not on a plate boundary but in the middle of a plate. Kilauea has formed over a hot spot.
The dispute over where the Oregon boundary was located was between the United States and Great Britain. They were in disagreement on where the boarder between Oregon and Canada should be drawn.

It was between Great Britain and of course the United States.
The dispute over the northern boundary of the U.S. claim to the Oregon Territory was was settled in the Treaty of Oregon of 1846, during the presidency of James K. Polk. The treaty established the boundary between British Canada and the U.S. at 49-degrees latitude. -- Contributed by Ray Kovach, Chicago, IL

Yes, it is true.
The boundary dispute over the Oregon Territory began after the United States and Great Britain both claimed the area in the early 19th century. The U.S. based its claim on the Louisiana Purchase and the exploration by Lewis and Clark, while Britain relied on its earlier exploration and fur trading activities in the region. Tensions escalated over the years, leading to debates about the boundary line, particularly the 49th parallel. The dispute was ultimately resolved with the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which established the boundary at the 49th parallel.
"Fifty-Four Forty or Fight" referred to a boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain over the Oregon Territory. The phrase represented the northern latitude line of 54 degrees 40 minutes, which some American expansionists sought as the northern boundary of Oregon. The dispute was ultimately resolved through diplomacy, leading to the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which set the boundary at the 49th parallel.
