Land claimed by both the United States and Great Britain. This was an ongoing dispute until the Treaty of 1846, which set the boundary at the 49th parallel, where it is today.
Yes. Parts of North Dakota and Minnesota and small portions of South Dakota and Montana were ceded to the United States by Great Britain in the Treaty of 1818. All of the area known as Rupert's Land which was located south of the 49th parallel and west to the Rocky Mountains was ceded to the US.
