Answer 1

The United States acquired the Oregon Territory through the Oregon Treaty of 1846 with Great Britain, which settled a longstanding border dispute. The settlers were attracted to the region for various reasons, including the fertile land for farming, abundant natural resources, and the prospect of economic opportunities such as fur trading and the Oregon Trail serving as a route to the West.
