The northern boundary of Oregon territory was parallel 54° north. At the time, a treaty called for the joint occupation of this territory by both American and British settlers. More and more Americans began to settle there, however, during the 1840s in a bout of "Oregon fever." James K. Polke, the largely unknown presidential candidate and democrat, recognized the potential of reigning in this movement for his purposes. He thus advocated expansion that would encompass California, Texas, and all of Oregon territory, running on a slogan of "fifty-four forty or fight!"

This boundary was significant in the context of the Oregon boundary dispute, which was resolved with the Oregon Treaty of 1846. The treaty established the boundary at the 49th parallel, south of 54 degrees 40', thereby granting the U.S. control over the majority of the territory.
The two rivers that marked the northern boundary between Spanish territory and the United States in 1819 were the Sabine River and the Red River.
