Oregon Territory Was It A Fair Compromise

I do agree, because the Americans had so many reasons for having the territory and the British did not and if the British got it well then the decision was a mistake. The Americans had men closer to the territory and was closer as well. Even though the British discovered the land first there are not much advantages to them having the land. The British's advantage is really only that they did not have that many resources to make a strong imprint on the Pacific Northwest. The British could also organize a entire region into a economy, but the Americans if they tried could do that to. The Americans believed in the Manifest Destiny and there it made a big policy of taking over the Oregon Territory. The British had no advantages of winning they only one, because the Americans did not want to fight and have a war so there for the British took the territory, but the Americans deserved it.
