It's actually "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight" (or, in your notation, "54°40′ or Fight"), and it was the slogan of the expansionist-minded Democrats in the mid-1840s. The slogan refers to a particular line of latitude which defined the northern-most extent of the Oregon Country, a territory which was disputed and claimed jointly by both the United States and Great Britain. The territory under dispute included all of the modern states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and parts of Montana, Wyoming, and the Canadian province of British Columbia. Various proposals to resolve the joint claims of sovereignty were proposed, but proponents of "Manifest Destiny" thought that the United States should resolve the conflict with Great Britain by insisting on taking the entire territory (all the way North to the 54'40" line) and if necessary to fight (go to war) to do so. President James K. Polk ultimately resolved the dispute peacefully in the Oregon Treaty of 1846, by extending the border between the United States and British North America along the 49th parallel. The phrase "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight" has been attributed to William Allen, who was a Senator from Ohio at the time.
The object of the 54-40 fight was over the northern border of the United States with Canada. The 54-40 number was the latitude that the US believed should be the border.
if they lived that long yes
$40 to $100 in average circulated condition.
As of today about $2.00 just for the silver content (40%)
If you mean 40 years from 1966, this coin is worth about $2.50 because it is 40% silver. If you mean 40 years from the present, please wait until I can find my crystal ball, LOL!
it was actually 59 40 or fight but it was the motto of the manifest destiny or westward expansion
50% off of 40= 50% discount applied to 40= 40 - (50% * 40)= 40 - (0.50 * 40)= 40 - 20= 20
The 50 men, but only if they work together. Then again, there may only be 40 left afterwards....
40/80 = 40/80 * 100% = 50%
50% of 40 will be: 40 / 0.5 = 20
40% of 50 = 40% * 50 = 0.4 * 50 = 20
50% of £80 = £40 = 50% * £80 = 50%/100% * £80 = £40
50 - 40 = 10
40% of 50 is 20
40 is 50% of 80
50 percent times 40 = 2050% * 40= 50%/100% * 40= 5/10 * 40= 1/2 * 40= 40/2= 20
It is: 40/50 times 100/1 = 80%
