2:Americans wanted control of the Oregon country to gain access to the Pacific Ocean

3:The Oregon Country was originally claimed by Great Britain, France, Russia, and Spain.

4:Longhunter, Coureur des bois, Surveyor, Woodsman, Fur Trappers,

5: Mountain men were instrumental in opening up the various Emigrant Trails allowing Americans in the east to settle the new territories of the far west by organized wagon trains traveling over roads explored and in many cases, physically improved by the mountain men and the big fur companies .

6:Because the Whitman's missionary efforts bore so little fruit, the American Missionary Board decided to close the mission in 1842 and transfer the Whitmans elsewhere.

Americans wanted control of the Oregon country to gain access to the Pacific Ocean. The agreement that John Quincy Adams worked out with Great Britain in 1818 regarding the Oregon country was joint occupation.

The Oregon Country was originally claimed by Great Britain, France, Russia, and Spain; the Spanish claim was later taken up by the United States.Spain later relinquished any remaining claims to territory north of the 42nd parallel to the United States as part of the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819.Longhunter, Coureur des bois, Surveyor, Woodsman, Fur Trappers, A mountain man is an explorer who lives in the wilderness. Mountain men were most common in the North American Rocky Mountains from about 1810 through to the 1880s (with a peak population in the early 1840s).Mountain men were instrumental in opening up the various Emigrant Trails (widened into wagon roads) allowing Americans in the east to settle the new territories of the far west by organized wagon trains traveling over roads explored and in many cases, physically improved by the mountain men and the big fur companies.After Whitman's death, Spalding energetically promoted the idea that Marcus Whitman had traveled east to Washington in order to "save" the Oregon Territory from British control by convincing the United States to send settlers to contest claims of British governance.
