WHAT did James Polk mean when he declard fifty four forty or fight in the 1844 presidential campaign?
When James Polk declared "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight" during the 1844 presidential campaign, he was advocating for the United States to assert its claim over the entire Oregon Territory, which extended to the latitude of 54°40′ north. This slogan reflected the expansionist sentiment of the time and the desire to secure the territory from British control. Polk's stance was a rallying cry for American expansionism, emphasizing the belief in Manifest Destiny, the idea that the U.S. was destined to expand across the continent. Ultimately, the issue was settled diplomatically, leading to the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which established the U.S.-Canada border at the 49th parallel.
