The British cession deals with the Treaty of 1818. The treaty was signed between Britain and the United States. Because of the treaty, Britain ceded, or gave, Rupert's Land as well as the land west to the Rocky Mountains to the United States. Rupert's Land was a territory that contained the Hudson Bay Drainage Basin, and other land that is now part of Canada.

The Louisiana Purchase extended into Canada, but did not include a piece of land near the Lake of the Woods. With the Convention of 1818, the United States and England decided to create a border at the 49th Parallel. In addition, they agreed to share the Oregon Country.
