The United States did not pay for the southern half of the Oregon Territory but there was compensation for the assets of the Hudson's Bay Company in the territory ceded in 1846. Britain ceded the territory to the United States under threat of war even though the United States had few if any genuine territorial claims to the territory north of the Columbia River. It is also ironic that at the very time the United States was readying itself for war with Mexico it was also threatening war with Great Britain. Even more ironic that within 15 years the United States desperately needed the good will of Great Britain.
Lewis and Clark explored parts of Oregon as part of the Louisiana Territory. In 1846 under President James K. Polk the U.S. signed a treaty with Britain that gave the U.S. possession of the Oregon territory.
Oregon was not bought.

Polk's goal was simple. He wanted a country which stretched from sea to shining sea. By supporting Texas, a future conflict with Mexico was assured, and the US could then acquire Mexican territory between the US and the Pacific Ocean.
