Answer:

American settlers in the oregon country in the mid-1840s wanted the u. S. Government to take full possession of Oregon country

Step-by-step explanation:

During the nineteenth century, the Oregon country was made up of what we know as Oregon, Idaho, Washington, parts of Wyoming and Montana as well as parts of the Canadian province of British Columbia. The Oregon country was unsettled land claimed by both Great Britain and United States.

Word spread across the country about Oregon's fertile soil, plentiful rainfall mild climate and magnificent forests. As a result of this, people symbolized this as the "American Dream" and the people of the United States encouraged the government to take full control over Oregon country, as it provided the perfect conditions for obtaining land and growing crops.
