The annexation of Oregon refers to the incorporation of the Oregon Territory into the United States, which was formally completed in 1846. The territory was originally claimed by both the U.S. and Great Britain, leading to a diplomatic dispute. The issue was resolved with the Oregon Treaty, which established the 49th parallel as the border between British North America and the U.S. in that region. This event significantly expanded U.S. territory and played a crucial role in the westward expansion movement.

Annexing Texas was more controversial than dividing the Oregon territory due to the implications of slavery and the balance of power between free and slave states.

In contrast, the Oregon territory was largely uninhabited and did not have the same contentious issues surrounding slavery, making its division less politically charged. Additionally, the potential for conflict with Mexico over Texas further fueled the controversy surrounding its annexation.
