Question

Analyze how white settlers and trappers helped pave the way for long-term settlements in Oregon and the Far West. Then, evaluate how these settlement patterns contributed to the joint ownership of Oregon by the United States and Britain.

Answer 1

The fertile lands for farming, the wooded lands for trapping animals, and the mild climate attracted settlers to this region. The lands and climate continued to attract settlers and mountain men, who helped lead future settlers through mountain passes and up rivers. Because there were more settlers in Oregon from the United States and Britain than there were from Russia and Spain, the United States and Britain agreed to own this area jointly.

Answer 2

At that time, Oregon had a really harsh territory, so not many business owners wanted to try their luck in the territory.

The settlers and trappers were tough enough to actually transform that harsh environment into decent living environment, which paved the way for long-term Oregon.

United States and the British Empire saw this area to be very lucrative for fur business. So, they both agree to set up joint ownership in Oregon and let the citizens from both countries to acquire land on this territory and open new businesses.
