Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
This is the 54'40 parallel!. During the 1844 election year the Democrats called for ALL of the Oregon territory to be annexed to the United States!. (54'40 was its northernmost limit, somewhere in the North of British Columbia, near Alaska's panhandle)!. Fifty-four Forty or Fight! would become a slogan tied to the hope of that annexation as Americans followed the Oregon trail into Oregon, Idaho and Washington!. The Whigs were against annexation, while the Democrats supported annexing Oregon territory and a war with Mexico to annex Texas!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
