Answer 1

The US-Canada border from Minnesota to the Rockies is the 49th Parallel, established by the Oregon Treaty of 1846 after negotiations between the US and Great Britain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The border between Canada and the US from Minnesota to the Rockies is known as the 49th Parallel. This boundary was established after negotiations between the United States and Great Britain led to the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which set this line of latitude as the border. President Polk's campaign slogan was "Fifty-four forty or fight!" which indicated the American desires to expand the US territory up to 54° 40' latitude, but ultimately the agreement with Britain was to the 49th parallel north.
